about

Black Gems Unearthed (BGU) is an entertaining video series about Black history in Massachusetts. It’s hosted and produced by me, Jazz, your cheerful hobby historian!

I’m sharing stories about Black folks and African descended people who spent time here, and left their mark in Massachusetts and beyond.

I hope these stories give you a glimpse into the experiences of Black folks in my home state, and peaks your curiosity to go explore and learn more on your own.
