The city of Boston has hired two teams of researchers to document the city's historical ties to slavery and its effects and to provide a report for the city's Reparations Task Force.
One team consists of Kerri Greenidge, a professor at Tufts University; Kendra Field, also a professor at Tufts; and Kyera Singleton, executive director of the Royall House and Slave Quarters, a historic site in Medford. That group is supposed to study the years 1620 to 1940, according to a press release.
