Place: Freedom House
Address: 5 Crawford Street
Neighborhood: Roxbury
Continuing looking around Grove Hall on November 21 2013, I found the Freedom House just off of Warren Street.
To visit the Freedom House, ride any bus to Grove Hall and turn onto Crawford Street. This was also the Grove Hall Branch of the Boston Public Library before the current one opened in April 2009.
"Established in 1949 by social workers Otto and Muriel Snowden, the Freedom House is an important social, educational and political organization and gathering place for the neighborhoods of Roxbury, Mattapan, Dorchester and Jamaica Plain. It has been at the center of key political movements in Boston, including urban renewal in the 1960s, the busing crisis of the 1970s, and education reform for the city's children beginning in the 1990s. Also central to the mission of the Freedom House is academic, financial and social support for college-bound students."
