  • Road trip 2026: Boston, MA

    August 30 - September 3, 2026
    ‍IRC has made plans for, and applied for grants for, a bus trip to Boston, MA. This will be a five-day, four-night trip. African Americans figured in events in and around Boston from before the Revolution, in the Civil War, and beyond. We will have the opportunity to visit Boston's African American National Historic Site. We will take a two-hour bus tour with a hop-on guide, "Black Boston's Hidden History." And, we can walk all or part of the famous "Freedom Trail." 

    We will stay at the Omni Parker House Hotel in the Beacon Hill area of Boston, in double-occupancy rooms. Depending upon how much grant money IRC receives, we hope to keep the per person cost to about $400. 

    ‍ A flyer describing this trip (pictured above) can be accessed at 2026 Boston Road Trip -- flyer.

    UPDATE!

    Interest and participation have been wonderful! Currently, there is one double room still available. This could accommodate a couple or two friends rooming together. The estimated per person cost of the trip is $425 to $450.

    please give your name to Judy Thomson,
