Me and Roxbury

The Un-monument | Re-monument | De-monument: Transforming Boston Programming

July 19, 2025
2025-07-19T18:30:53 - 2025-07-19T20:30:53

Join us at Hibernian Hall for a night of gathering and live storytelling around the campfire. "Me & Roxbury" will be an exciting spin on the popular storied format of “Roxbury Roots”! Our storytelling Friends will consist of Edmund Barry Gaither, Jumaada Abdal-Khallaq Henry Smith, L’Merchie Frazier, Paul Goodnight, Byron Rushing and more!

Allow the night to take you through a great range of human experience filled with laughter, tears, and truth. Each of stories will be unique and each voice is authentic. The linkage being that each storyteller has been near dear not only to the Roxbury community at large but to the National Center of Afro-American Artists. Through these invigorating stories, our Friends will have the opportunity to lay bare their hopes for this community that we share. Instrumental figures in their fields, we are excited to go through each journey, and together hear and share our vision for the future Roxbury.

Stick around for food, refreshments, and more vision sharing of the future of Roxbury.

"Roxbury Roots" was created by Haris Lefteri, Creative Director of Hibernian Hall and Leslie Stafford, Health Equity & Wellness Coordinator, who wanted to give a platform to the adventurers and the storytellers. It opened in August 2022 and after popular demand, we are back for more.

*This collaborative version of "Roxbury Roots" is part of the National Center of Afro-American Artists' new project, FINDING OURSELVES IN PUBLIC SPACES: An Un-monument Project, and it is funded by The Mayor's Office of Arts & Culture's Un-monument Initiative, supported by a grant from The Mellon Foundation.
