Black Heritage Trail is a path along which there are important historical sites recording African American's history around Beacon Hill. On July 9,2010, I went for this trail to explore the unique characteristics of Boston.
As it known to many people, the bad custom of slavery was widely applied in America for long time. Even after the civil war, Blake people still could not get the same tights or positions as white people especially in the south. For example, Blake people and white people are separated in many places--buses, schools, restaurants.
How can blake people get education in that social atmosphere? For blake people in east America, they paid great effort to make their racial stronger.So there is a site worth highlighted in the Black Heritage Trail--Abiel Smith School.It was a public founded in 1835 by a white people named Abiel Smith.Before the school was founded, black children had to study in a basement of African Meeting House. So it provided the children better environment and condition to study. Education is really a good way to effective people.
Look back in history, in every revolutionary action, there must be some people sacrifice their interest to get a higher achievement--the process of society, citizen's better life. Such as all the martyr died in ended the Qing Dynasty and established the People Republic of China, many of them were born in rich family with high social position, but they chose to join revolution. Without their sacrifice, China won't be like the China today, I also cannot get the chance to study here. Thank all these brave people! Their name maybe not shown in history, but history was made up of them. They really worth our admire and honor.
