In a special King Boston edition of This Is New England, we take a closer look at local efforts to address social justice.
King Boston is a non-profit working with the city to create a living memorial to Martin Luther King Junior and Coretta Scott King.
It’ll be on Boston Common soon, promoting love and anti-racism. The goal is to converge art and public policy leading to institutional change and a city that is “radically inclusive and equitable."
Those ideals are so intertwined in the legacies of the Kings, and now is a critical time for the entire nation to stand for them.
