Discover the incredible journey of the Irish in Boston with historian Christopher Daley. This fascinating talk traces Irish migration, from the arrival of the Scots-Irish in 1718 to the rise of Irish political power in Boston. Explore key moments in history, including the pre-famine Catholic influx, anti-Irish sentiment, the Great Famine migration, and the ascent of figures like James Michael Curley and John “Honey Fitz” Fitzgerald.

Kicking off the afternoon, Declan Houton, Irish native and founder & lead singer of Devri, will perform Irish songs on guitar and mandolin. Singing along is encouraged!
