A pivotal landmark in Boston's civil rights movement is facing demolition.

The Freedom House in Roxbury — once referred to as the 'Black Pentagon' by some — served as a key meeting place that helped spur desegregation in Boston schools and the fight for racial equity across the city.

Consider This cohost Carrie Jung speaks with GBH reporter Tori Bedford about the fight to save the historic building.

This segment aired on January 5, 2022.
