SAS is here to help any student who: - has a physical, learning, medical, psychiatric, or sensory condition;

Explore the African American Freedom Trail ProjectThe African American Freedom Trail Project is a city-wide network and archive housed at Tufts University. Originally inspired by the scholarship of Tufts Professor Gerald R. Gill (1948-2007) and driven by faculty and student research, this project maps African American and African-descended public history sites across greater Boston and develops collaborative, community-based public history projects. The African American Freedom Trail Project aims to develop African American historical memory and inter-generational community and places present-day struggles for racial justice in the context of greater Boston’s historic African American, Black Native, and diasporic communities.
