A diverse group of 60 METCO and Wayland students, parents and staff from Wayland Middle and High schools boarded three buses on May 8 for a tour of historic cultural sites in Boston neighborhoods. Just a few miles from tourists trekking downtown’s Freedom Trail, they visited the Boston places where history was made by people of color and their supporters Malcolm X’s Boston home, Freedom House and Bethel AME Church.
The event was funded by The Boston Bridges Initiative, a recently formed organization that supports cross-racial social engagement across the Greater Boston area.
The tour concluded at the Roxbury Heritage State Park, where students and bus drivers enjoyed Caribbean food outdoors, courtesy of vendor Jamaica Mi Hungry. Can the Duck Boats beat that?

A cat, frozen mid-jump, turns toward a medical mask suspended with it in the air.
The hyper-realistic drawing by Wayland Middle School eighth-grader Alyssa Ao earned an American Visions nomination in this yearâs Massachusetts Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. Titled âSchrödingerâs Cat,â the piece encapsulates the uncertainty that defined the year 2020 for people young and old.
The drawing was inspired when Aoâs art teacher, Yuanan Cheng, showed her a photo of a friendâs cat. Ao began drawing it in December 2019, originally planning nothing more than a portrait of the feline. When the threat of COVID-19 became apparent, however, she started pondering ways to represent the crisis in her work.
