Psychologically, identity is composed of the qualities, beliefs and ways of expression that make a person (or a city) different from others.
To that point, there are essential characteristics that people associate with Boston and its people –the Hub may conjure images of the stodgy, blue-blooded Brahmins or the politically clannish Irish.
At times Boston’s identity can be contradictory - Boston has a reputation for being liberal politically but has also struggled with being labeled racist.
Identity can arise organically, for instance, in its earliest days Boston would have perceived itself as a Puritan town as most members of the community shared this religion; but identity can also be deliberately drawn.
Our tour will focus on those events that shaped Boston’s identity and how that identity has changed over the years.
