THE ROYALL HOUSE AND SLAVE QUARTERS CONTINUES TO EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT GROWTH. IN FY25, OUR MUSEUM AND OUR DIRECTOR WAS FEATURED IN HARPER'S BAZAAR. WE PARTNERED WITH THE BOSTON ART TRIENNIAL TO HOST PROGRAMS ABOUT BLACK CULTURAL PRODUCTION ACROSS THE CITY OF BOSTON AND MEDFORD. THESE INCLUDE WORKSHOPS SUCH AS WEAVING, SEWING, TIE AND DYE, AND TRADITIONAL HAIR BRAIDING WORKSHOPS. WE HAVE HAD OVER 150 PEOPLE ATTEND THESE WORKSHOPS. IN JULY, WE HOSTED OUR ANNUAL READING OF FREDERICK DOUGLASS "WHAT TO THE SLAVE IS THE FOURTH OF JULY? AND IT GREW TO 150 PEOPLE DURING THE FY25 YEAR. OUR SUMMER SEASON OF 2024 HAD A REALLY NICE TURNOUT WITH VISITORS COMING TO THE MUSEUM CONSISTENTLY. WE HAVE CONTINUED TO EXPAND OUR REACH AND GROW OUR INFLUENCE THROUGH PRIVATE TOURS AND PARTNERSHIPS THROUGHOUT MASSACHUSETTS. WE HAVE HAD SCHOOL GROUPS VISIT FROM ACROSS THE STATE, AND WE HAVE SERVED STUDENT GROUPS FROM LOCAL PROGRAMS IN ROXBURY TO NATIONAL SUMMER PROGRAMS FROM LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA. OVERALL, ATTENDANCE IS DIVERSIFYING, AND THE MUSEUM IS GROWING IN TERMS OF OUR PROGRAM AND OUR LOCAL AND NATIONAL REPUTATION.
