"Walk Her Way" is the third in a series of walks
which have been developed under the auspices of the Boston Women’s
Heritage Trail by teachers and students in the Boston Public Schools.
This walk was developed by fifth graders in Maria D'Itria's class at the
Harvard-Kent School
in Charlestown. The students put out a call in the school and neighborhood
for nominations of important women and researched local women in history.
They walked through the neighborhood, conducted interviews, and collected
photographs. They chose a name for the walk and designed the logo. The
students even marched on Bunker Hill Monument to protest the omission
of Sarah Josepha Hale's name from the historical timeline display. Leaving
a fabric rose at each stop, the students conducted a tour for first and
second graders who had designed their own walk in Roxbury. If you are
interested in developing a trail in your neighborhood, please contact
us. We'd be glad to help!
