ABOUT JOURNEY

Since the group's formation in 1973, JOURNEY has earned 19 top 40 singles, 25 gold and platinum albums, and has sold over 100 million albums globally. Their "Greatest Hits" album is certified 15 times-platinum, making JOURNEY one of the few bands to ever have been diamond-certified, and their song "Don't Stop Believin'" has been streamed over one billion times alone.

JOURNEY was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2017, and 2018's co-headlining tour with DEF LEPPARD was the band's most successful tour to date, landing them in the Top 10 year-end touring chart with more than 1 million tickets sold, and earning them the prestigious Billboard "Legends Of Live" touring award. March 2019 saw the release of "Escape & Frontiers Live In Japan", a live DVD/CD set from their concert at the Budokan in Tokyo featuring the band's first-ever performances of the albums "Escape" and "Frontiers" in their entirety. JOURNEY has also received a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and were inducted into the Hollywood Bowl Hall Of Fame. Additionally, the band is the subject of the award-winning documentary "Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey" about the band's resurgence upon adding Arnel Pineda as lead singer after JOURNEY Founder, Neal Schon discovered the Philippines native on YouTube.

The members of TOTO are celebrating an accomplishment few bands have achieved in the modern era. Cumulative streams of the ensemble’s repertoire

now exceed 3 billion plays. Amongst the most listened to recordings, “Africa” accounts for over one billion streams at Spotify alone. This year the song was recertified by the RIAA 8X Platinum.

Over the past decade, the band has had a major renaissance in popularity like few bands at this point in their career. The audience is truly multi-generational, becoming younger with each passing year. Joining Steve Lukather and Joseph Williams are band members bassist John Pierce (Huey Lewis and The News), drummer Robert “Sput” Searight (Ghost-Note, Founding member Snarky Puppy, Snoop Dogg), keyboardist Dominique “Xavier” Taplin (Prince, Ghost-Note), multi-instrumentalist / vocalist Warren Ham (Ringo Starr) and keyboardist / background vocalist Steve Maggiora,. This line-up marks the fifteenth incarnation of Toto in consideration of band members or sidemen who joined or exited. Individually and collectively, few have had a larger imprint on pop culture than the members of TOTO. The family tree can be heard on an astonishing 5000 albums that together amass a sales history of a half a billion albums. Amongst these recordings, NARAS applauded the performances with hundreds of Grammy nominations.

With now 45+ years together and literally thousands of credits, including the biggest selling album of all time: Michael Jackson’s Thriller, and accolades to their names, TOTO remains one of the top selling touring and recording acts in the world. They are the benchmark by which many artists base their sound and production, and they continue to transcend the standards set by the entire music community, being simply synonymous with musical credibility. They are pop culture and are one of the few 70’s bands that have endured the changing trends and styles continuing to remain relevant.

What People Are Saying

Yelp review.

The Freedom Trail is one of the iconic touristy things to do in Boston, and there's a reason for that. I did the full trail many, many years ago but decided to go with this shorter, more compact trail with our family. The 1.5 hour length is the right duration for kids, and our guide, Jeremiah Poope (his actual last name!), kept it interesting the entire time. He has been a tour guide in Boston for many years, and he had a ton of interesting stories and facts beyond the typical revolutionary war factoids.

Email Review

We had a wonderful time and your guides were wonderful. They were energetic, informed, and brought history to life. Thank you once again!

TripAdvisor Review

We only had 1 day to explore downtown Boston, and this tour was a great way to see several different sites, learn about history, and get a bit of walking in. We were a few minutes late for the start of the 1pm tour but easily able to catch up and join in.. Our tour guide was fantastic! One member of my group uses a wheelchair, and the guide was great about leading the WHOLE tour through accessible entrances to sites and to sidewalks with curb cuts so that all of us could participate without feeling singled out.

Great tour with Isaiah Thomas! Great local guide who was very engaging and a walking encyclopedia of Boston history. It was a nice 1.5 hr walking tour hitting most of the south end Freedom Trail points of interest. For the money, it’s hard to beat!

The Freedom Trail Walking tour presents full of historic knowledge and our guide, Parker, provides us the best experience for this amazing learning adventure. That is to say, in this tour you can also learn about the myth and the truth of the history we learned from our textbooks. I would recommend anyone who visit Boston and is interested in learning history or simply just want to listen to funny stories

Granary Burying Ground

Freedom Trail Preservation

Boston's iconic 2.5 mile-Freedom Trail connects 16 nationally significant historic sites, each one an authentic treasure. Thanks to preservation efforts, these cultural assets are still intact, which makes Boston truly unique as one of the few places in America to experience the actual sites and learn the history they tell while walking through modern city streets.

FREEDOM TOUR 2022 DATES

**On sale at 9am ET

LAS VEGAS RESIDENCY: AN EVENING WITH JOURNEY (on-sale now)

ABOUT JOURNEY

Since the group's formation in 1973,  JOURNEY  has earned 19 top 40 singles, 25 gold and platinum albums, and has sold nearly 100 million albums globally. Their  "Greatest Hits"  album is certified 15 times-platinum, making  JOURNEY  one of the few bands to ever have been diamond-certified, and their song  "Don't Stop Believin'"  has been streamed over one billion times alone.

JOURNEY  was inducted into the  Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame  in 2017, and 2018's co-headlining tour with  DEF LEPPARD  was the band's most successful tour to date, landing them in the Top 10 year-end touring chart with more than 1 million tickets sold, and earning them the prestigious  Billboard "Legends Of Live"  touring award. March 2019 saw the release of  "Escape & Frontiers Live In Japan" , a live DVD/CD set from their concert at the Budokan in Tokyo featuring the band's first-ever performances of the albums  "Escape"  and  "Frontiers"  in their entirety.  JOURNEY  has also received a star on the  Hollywood Walk Of Fame  and were inducted into the  Hollywood Bowl Hall Of Fame . Additionally, the band is the subject of the award-winning documentary  "Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey"  about the band's resurgence upon adding  Arnel Pineda  as lead singer after founding member  Neal Schon  discovered the Philippines native on  YouTube .

ABOUT BILLY IDOL

For forty-five years, Billy Idol has been one of the faces and voices of rock’n’roll, with an artistic resume to match the brilliant light of the image. First as the camera-ready front man for Generation X, between 1977 and 1981 Billy emerged with three albums that made positivity, emotional depth, and high pop synonymous with punk rock. In 1982, Billy embarked on a remarkable transatlantic/transgenre solo career that integrated clubland throb, wide-screen depth and drama, rockabilly desperation, the bold and simple lines of punk, and rock’n’roll decadence.

Decades after releasing his first 45, Billy Idol still makes gliding, thumping, cinematic songs about sin, redemption and the love of rock’n’roll…and that’s what you will find on The Roadside, Billy Idol’s first release of original material in seven years. Produced by Butch Walker (Green Day, Weezer, amongst many others), The Roadside takes Billy Idol into new but familiar waters full of color, power, atmosphere, attitude, and mystery.

On The Roadside Billy Idol is joined by his friend and collaborator since 1981, guitarist and co-songwriter Steve Stevens . For 40 years – 40 years! ­– Steve has been Billy Idol’s sonic assassin and master blender of tones and textures, the thinking man’s shredder and the shredding man’s Picasso.

Over the past several years,  TOTO  have had a major renaissance in popularity like few bands at this point in their career.  Their 40th anniversary in 2018 was marked by them releasing a brand new Greatest Hits album (40 Trips Around The Sun) and embarking on their most successful worldwide tour to date.   Few ensembles in the history of recorded music have individually or collectively had a larger imprint on pop culture than the members of  TOTO .  As individuals, the band members can be heard on an astonishing 5000 albums that together amass a sales history of a half a billion albums.  Amongst these recordings, NARAS applauded the performances with more than 200 Grammy nominations.  

Collectively  TOTO  has over two billion streams worldwide on all streaming services.  Just last year one of their biggest hits “Africa” went from being a Platinum single to being recently recertified 6X Platinum.  The band has found a new generation of fans.  With now 40+ years together and literally thousands of credits, including the biggest selling album of all time: Michael Jackson’s  Thriller , and accolades to their names,  TOTO  remains one of the top selling touring and recording acts in the world. They are the benchmark by which many artists base their sound and production, and they continue to transcend the standards set by the entire music community, being simply synonymous with musical credibility.  They are pop culture, and are one of the few 70’s bands that have endured the changing trends and styles continuing to remain relevant while enjoying their multi-generational global fan base.

Federal Legislation Spotlight: The Freedom to Read

NCTE 06.14.24 Advocacy

The Intellectual Freedom Center at NCTE has received ongoing reports from teachers, school librarians, parents, families, and authors in the past few years detailing challenges to access to books and ideas in public schools. These reports are backed up by data reported by our partners at the American Library Association (ALA), PEN America, and the National Coalition Against Censorship. In 2023, the Office for Intellectual Freedom at the ALA recorded 1,247 attempts of censorship involving 4,240 unique book titles, a 65% increase over 2022, the previous high. Driving this increase were demands by groups and individuals for the censorship of multiple titles. Thirty-nine percent (39%) of the reported attempts occurred at school libraries, and 5% at schools. Unfortunately, censorship attempts went beyond banning books and other materials. Reports filed with the ALA included threats to close or defund libraries and to criminally prosecute librarians and teachers for providing books and resources to students.

Congress is not staying silent. In the past year, several pieces of legislation have been introduced to protect the right and freedom to read. Four bills are highlighted below, along with, when available, links to websites that allow individuals to easily submit prepared letters of support to their congressperson. Unfortunately, the censorship conversation is split along party lines, and all four bills are only supported by Democrats or Independents.

The Right to Read Act (S. 1307 and H.R. 2889) is a bicameral piece of legislation reintroduced in the spring of 2023 by Senator Jack Reed (D-RI) in the Senate and Representative Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) in the House. The Right to Read Act seeks to limit censorship by ensuring that States and Local Education Agencies (LEAs) receiving certain federal funds have policies that protect a student’s “right to read,” including access to “culturally diverse and inclusive materials” and “the freedom to choose reading materials.” Each state and LEA receiving funds must confirm that it will (1) protect the First Amendment rights of students in school libraries and (2) provide equal protection in the conduct of school libraries in compliance with the requirements of the Fourteenth Amendment and nondiscrimination laws. The bill also provides liability protection to teachers, school librarians, school leaders, paraprofessionals, and other staff for actions that conform with state or local policies regarding the right to read .

When the Right to Read Act was reintroduced in the House and the Senate, NCTE Executive Director Emily Kirkpatrick stated, “Limiting student access to books infringes on a well-rounded education and connecting to the expansiveness of humanity. The Right to Read Act protects access to the benefits of teacher and librarian expertise and, ultimately, a society filled with possibilities rather than fears.”

Currently, seven senators and 46 representatives, all Democrats, are co-sponsoring the Right to Read Act. You can submit a prepared letter of support for this legislation to your senator or representative through the American Association of School Librarians’ website .

While the Right to Read Act provides liability protection for actions that conform with Right to Read policies, the Fight Book Bans Act  (H.R. 6592) takes protections for school staff one step further. The Fight Book Bans Act, introduced in the House in December 2023, would fight censorship by enabling the Department of Education to grant up to $100,000 to school districts to cover expenses incurred while fighting book bans and bans of other instructional and library material. Expenses include the cost of retaining legal representation, traveling to hearings, the logistics for those hearings, and obtaining expert research and advice. Currently, 79 members of Congress have signed on to co-sponsor this bill, including all Democrats. The ACLU and PEN America support the bill.

The Books Save Lives Act (H.R. 6830), introduced in Congress by Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), requires public libraries receiving federal assistance and school libraries in LEAs receiving federal aid to maintain a diverse collection of books. The bill defines a diverse collection as “books or other items of educational media written by, illustrated by, or about an individual who is a member of an underrepresented community.”  This bill also classifies discriminatory book bans as violations of federal civil rights laws. Currently, there are 35 co-sponsors of this bill, all Democrats. NCTE’s Executive Director participated in the bill’s launch at a roundtable discussion facilitated by Rep. Pressley in Washington, DC . You can submit a prepared support letter through the EveryLibrary’s website to encourage your representative to co-sponsor the bill.

In October 2023, Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI) introduced resolutions in the House (H.Res. 733) and Senate (S.Res. 372) , respectively, expressing concern about the spreading problem of book banning and the proliferation of threats to freedom of expression in the United States. The resolution also calls on “school districts to protect the rights of students to learn and the ability of educators and librarians to teach, including by providing students with the opportunity to read a wide array of books reflecting the full breadth and diversity of viewpoints and perspectives.” A Resolution is not binding law but expresses the collective sentiment of the House or the Senate on a particular issue. There are 20 co-sponsors in the Senate, Democrats and Independents, and 59 co-sponsors in the House, all Democrats. NCTE was named as a best practice leader in this version of the bill and the previous iteration in 2022. NCTE was also an early signer of both resolutions.

Here are 8 ways to celebrate the Juneteenth holiday in Springfield

freedom tour.blogspot

Juneteenth is Wednesday, June 19. The national holiday honors the day all enslaved people learned of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Through the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect Jan. 1, 1863, not everyone in the Confederate territory was immediately set free. It was not until June 19, 1865 when 2,000 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, Texas and announced that the more than 250,000 enslaved people were free by executive decree, according to the National Museum of African American History & Culture . This day became known as Juneteenth. It became an official national holiday in 2021 under President Joe Biden.

For the second year in a row, the NAACP of Springfield and Community Partnership of the Ozarks are hosting a three-day festival to celebrate Juneteenth. The festival kicks off on Friday with the Turnt Up Tour at the Gillioz Theatre. Outside of the festival, there are several other Juneteenth activities planned around Springfield next week.

When: Saturday, June 15 at 6 p.m.

This would have been right after the creation of the Greene County Court and before the Supreme Court's decision on Dred Scott.

A yellow, handwritten court manuscript telling Sawyers' story remained shelved for years until archivist Connie Forbis Yen and former News-Leader reporter Giacomo Bologna shared it with the community in 2018 .
