Whose Story is Told?
Cambridge is a city filled with monuments. Statues, plaques, and memorials across the city commemorate people and events from its nearly four hundred years of settlement. But who decides what is worthy of commemoration, and how does the memorial landscape of the city reinforce certain narratives of Cambridge history and exclude others?
Join History Cambridge’s Beth Folsom and visit several of the many monuments in the city, examining not only the subjects they commemorate but also what they can tell us about the society that created them.
We are offering this tour on two different days.
