WGBH (a public news service based in Boston) collaborated with journalism students from Boston University to produce the interactive map, which provides additional information about slavery that is not present for visitors when they tour the Freedom Trail. At the end of the article a link to the interactive map is provided. Or, you can just skip the article and visit it now.
