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.

At this point in the planning, we are gauging interest in this trip. We can accommodate a maximum of 50 persons. It is very important that we get an idea of how many people to plan on, so that we can more accurately estimate how many hotel rooms to reserve. We will incur a financial penalty for rooms that are reserved and ultimately not used.

‍ If you would like to participate,
please give your name to Judy Thomson, thomsonjudy@gmail.com,
by March 10.

(No deposit is required at this time--only an expression of interest in participating.)

All are welcome! Bring your partner, bring a friend--join us!
