Boston, a city rooted in revolutionary history, is experiencing a resurgence of activism reminiscent of its past abolitionist movements. Recent gatherings at significant sites like the Old North Church saw prominent figures advocate for the abolition of fossil fuels, paralleling the city's historic commitment to liberty and justice. The city honors its past with monuments reflecting both its struggle against slavery and the ongoing fight for a sustainable future. As the climate crisis intensifies, Boston embodies a spirit of resistance to authoritarianism and oppression, pushing for an environmentally just society.
Last Saturday night, some of today's abolitionists-activists who are trying to abolish not slavery but rather the burning of fossil fuels that puts humanity's future in such grave peril-assembled in Boston's Old North Church.
The monuments built in Boston made a point of commemorating both the white and the Black men who fell in a war that, as the Soldiers and Sailors Monument that towers above the Boston Common emphasizes, 'destroyed slavery and maintained the Constitution.'
