| "The South End Women’s Heritage Trail" is the first 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 third graders in Paul Thompson and Jan Wellman’s class at the Blackstone School in the South End. The students contacted local women-led organizations which are doing important work in the community, researched their history, and conducted telephone interviews. They chose a name for the walk and designed the logo. Wearing special T-shirts, the students conducted a public tour, learned their very own “herstory” song and made a quilt. If you are interested in developing a trail in your neighborhood, please contact
us. We’d be glad to help!
