We visited the Black Heritage Trail last Friday, which is a walking tour that explores the history of Boston's 19th century African American community. What I want to say is that the boiling weather we have in that day, but it doesn’t influenced our attitude of this tail. The place I most interested in this trail is the Abiel Smith School, which had been settled in 1835. It is named for Abiel Smith, a white philanthropist who left money in his will to the city of Boston for the education of black children. Thomas Dalton was elected president in 1834 of the Infant School Association created to support the new Abiel Smith School for colored children built on Belknap Street. This school was the first public school for black people.
