Join author and BHCC Professor George Walters-Sleyon as he shares on the topic of his latest book The Rush for Black Diamonds, Volume One. It explores the Transatlantic slave trade and its mutation into chattel slavery focusing on the involvement of two prominent Enlightenment philosophers: British philosopher, John Locke and President Thomas Jefferson, both slave traders and slave masters. Used as a metaphor, Black Diamonds captures the exploration of Western nations’ rush for Black people across the Atlantic Ocean to be used as economic units and chattel property.

,Bunker Hill Community College invites you to join us in celebrating our culture, language and creativity as one united community.
,The CECW 2025 Institute will delve into the paradox of AI in higher education: how can we harness its benefits while addressing the many challenges it poses. Often, the advantages of AI are celebrated without fully acknowledging its shortcomings, such as unexpected errors and gaps in knowledge. As AI proficiency increasingly becomes a job requirement, developing critical thinking—an awareness of how to reflect on and address its gaps—becomes essential.
Participants will explore how AI can integrate community dialogue in and beyond the classroom. We will consider strategies for integrating AI across disciplines, ensuring that its use promotes rather than undermines student’s pathways to academic excellence.
,Join the Office of Internships and Career Development for Career Fair 2025 to learn about internships, part-time and full-time jobs, and volunteer opportunities. Register now to see our growing list of employers who will be at the fair.

,“Two Nations, One Battle: Bunker Hill in British and American Memory” is a special panel discussion exploring the Battle of Bunker Hill from both American and British perspectives. The discussion, which is free and open to all, will include American author of history Nathaniel Philbrick and British historian Dr. Emma Hart, with moderator and public historian Dr. Brooke Barbier. To set the tone for the evening, a musical prelude will be performed by Ken Burns’ pianist Jacqueline Schwab, performing several pieces that reflect the popular music of that era, a mix of traditional English and colonial styles, including ballads, dance tunes, and patriotic songs.
Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and take part in a broader community conversation following the discussion. This public event promises to offer a compelling reflection on the past—and what it means for us today. Attendees are encouraged to bring their personal books, written by the panelists, for signing.
Admission is free. Sign up.
This program has been made possible through financial and in-kind donations from the following co-presenters: Friends of the Charlestown Branch of the Boston Public Library, the Bunker Hill Monument Association, British Consulate-General Boston, Bunker Hill Community College, and the National Park Service of Boston.
