SHARE THIS ARTICLE

Throughout 2026, Mass Humanities will share a new video series highlighting diverse perspectives on the 250th. These videos will feature grantees, public officials, friends of the organization, and Mass Humanities board and staff. At Mass Humanities, we believe that the American Revolution belongs to everyone. And, because of this, we’re committed to telling the complex stories and untold histories connected to the founding of the nation.

Our second video in the series features Holyoke Mayor Joshua Garcia.
