A call for racial equity: Boston’s new mayor makes history

For 200 years, Boston has been led by an unbroken string of White men — until now. Kim Janey, a Black woman who traces her roots in the city back generations, and even further to ancestors who fled slavery in the South, is now the city's mayor.

    Deeply related to hard work and living responsibly.

    1. @Gato Loco What the hell are you talking about? I assume you don’t have an actual opinion to share and are resorting to clever mouth farting.

    1. @Wayne Baehler of course it can get worse, look at Detroit 40 years ago, it was a paradise compared to today’s Detroit

  2. Wish her all the best, she will do a lot to make the city of Boston a better place to live 😊👊

    1. @cervellone racial equity ensures equal outcome. That isn’t possible without stopping the progress of some groups and aiding the process of others. That’s straight out of communist ideology. That’s what I mean.

  3. I wish them the best of the best..and makes me feel so proud of them, hopping their good performances on their duties be taken as a Roll models for black young girls in the near future…God may bless them

    1. @Belly Dancer Em not racist just tired of accomplishments being based on race, gender, or sexual preference

    2. Why is CNN not telling us about the BLM cofounder who just bought multiple multi million dollar properties with the money you people donate it to her🤔

    3. @Greg A why isn’t any news network saying anything about the black man who wiped out an entire family and there hvac guy. If it was the other way around it would be head line news for weeks and probably riot’s

  4. “What I say to you in the dark you must repeat in broad daylight;”

    1. In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s. clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves

    1. He deserves more accolades, just the same way I was going through comments and i saw this. I gave a try and bet something I never regretted.

    2. I’m so glad for having him, his strategy has been good i’m happy for other’s who trade with him and get their profits in time, thanks a lot for your service. i have been with Robert Maxwell for the over some few years now and i can say proudly, i haven’t encountered a loss

    3. I estimate that Bitcoin will rise really high in the next years, following the step that PayPal did a few weeks ago.

  5. Ain’t that good news ? A Change Is Gonna Come – Sam Cooke.

    Im 33 years old but I’m in touch with the history of my American counterparts.

    For the sake of soul music spin some Sam cooke “A Change Is Gonna Come” and let that sink in, real deep cause it’s been a long time coming.

  6. This is no coincidence, they have come to power for such a time as this. They will use their time, gifts, talents and education to move major cities forward and find answers to so many troubling issues faced by those living in major cities. Thanks for highlighting these Mayors so we can keep them in our prayers. 🤲🏾 💪

    1. Same w/Seattle. City leaders nullified their criminal code in some hideous social experiment run amok. If you watch the (YT) KOMO News documentary “The Fight for the Soul of Seattle” the city’s descended into a third world nation and it’s sickening.

  7. Atlanta has Keisha Lance Bottoms, who is black.
    Kim Janey is now the new black mayor of Boston.
    It’s about time to have all major American cities to have black mayors for a change.

  8. It’s a definite win and needs to happen more often in more places.
    Just the fact that she’s not in her 70s makes me happy

  9. I’m so excited and proud to have this exemplary black woman at the forefront of the inevitable truth of progress and change!!!

  10. When I am dead”  by Steve Gooden
     
     When I am dead…remember me for the good I did, the songs I sang the kind words I spoke.
    When I am dead think of me for the moments we shared the games we played and the tears we shed.
     
    When I am dead honor me for the poor I helped, the homeless I housed, the lost I helped find their way, for the children I mentored, the family and the friends I loved and cherished and the country I served.
     
    When I am dead forgive me, for the cross words I had, the people I offended, the lies I told and the things I stole. Forgive me for the hearts I broke, the ones I used and the few I mis-used. Forgive me for the goals I failed to reach, the dreams I never realized and the burden I might have been at times.

    When I am dead Do better for your sakes, learn the lessons I did not, don’t make my mistakes yours, and if possible stand on the shoulders of my legacy and build a better one.
    When I am dead, move on! Remember me yes, but move on. Live in no regrets for having met me, hold no grudge against me and share with others the best I had to offer. Don’t make me larger than life, but don’t make me irrelevant. Remember me, but live your life so when you are dead, they will say better things of you and we move each generation closer to that ultimate likeness of God in righteous reflection of that which is best about us and reflective of the Divine.

    Above all when I am dead remember the GOD I lived to serve, no matter how flawed my attempt to be like HIM. Remember that He died for us and asked us to remember HIM, and who best for us to remember, than He who gave his life for us that we might remember HIM. While we live and there is breath in our bodies, remember this. If we do this, when we are dead HE who is perfect will remember us!
