Bands, Officials All Lined up for 'Bigger, Better' Parade IN THIS ISSUE 48 PAGES I .....-.----,..---~ Day Tripping... Suggestions for a super autumn • • In New England! -This Week- Bands, officials all lined up for 'bigger, better' parade By Esther Shein "Allston-Brighton is going to sink into the ground this weekend under the wave of all the politicians and bands on Sunday," declares Parade Committee Chairman Joe Hogan. An estimated 25-30 bands are expected for this year's third annual parade. "We've got far more quality this year-it's going to be bigger and bet­ ter," he says proudly. The event-filled weekend kicks off Saturday with a cattle fair~ sponsored by the Brighton Congregational Church with assistance from the Brighton Board of Trade. In past years the BBOT hasheld fairs the day before the parade, but "some mer­ chants have felt the street fair was ~ounterproductive to business," ex­ plains president Frank Moy. "We wanted to do a family fair outside Brighton Center in [late] September, but the cost of liability insur­ ance .. ,made it not in our best in­ terest to do so." Instead, the BBOT has provided banners for the fair and will sell large, colorful posters of Allston-Brighton, with the proceeds going to benefit the Church's 160th anniversary next year. Dancers in elaborate costume delight youngsters along Washington Street during last year's Allston-Brighton Parade. This year's promises "We thought it would be good for ,,to be'the best one yet, according to Parade Chairman Joe Hogan. people to learn more about the church," says Reverend Paul Pitman.

  • Tale of Two Mayors
    Race Relations in Boston: a Tale of Two Mayors, Raymond L. Flynn and Thomas M. Menino Ronda Jackson and Christopher Winship The Stuart Incident On October 23, 1989, Charles Stuart, a white, 30-year-old furrier, living in suburban Reading, Massachusetts, made a desperate 9-1-1 call to the Boston Police dispatcher. He reported that he had been shot. His wife, Carol Stuart, a lawyer, seven-months pregnant at the time, had also been shot, and was in the passenger’s seat next to him bleeding and unconscious. Though frightened and in shock, Stuart was able to provide some details of the crime. He told the dispatcher that he and his wife had just left a birthing class at a nearby hospital and gotten into their car parked near the Mission Hill housing project when a young black man in a hooded sweatshirt robbed and shot them both. The dispatcher stayed on the line with Stuart while police cruisers in the area found the Stuarts’ car and the two wounded victims.1 The Stuarts were rushed back to the same hospital where they had attended Lamaze class. Doctors performed an emergency c-section on Carol to remove the baby and, hopefully, save her life. Baby Christopher was put in the intensive care unit, but died 17 days later. Carol Stuart died six hours after the surgery. After giving police his account of the events, Charles Stuart was rushed into emergency surgery. He survived the surgery, but then went into a coma for several weeks after the shooting.2 Mayor Raymond Flynn and Police Commissioner Mickey Roache were immediately told of the shootings.

This trend, referred to as community unionism, challenges elites‘ narrow distribution of scarce public resources by fighting for community-driven reforms that advance the interests of broadly-shared prosperity (Tattersall, 2010; Reynolds, 1999). Using document analysis and semi-structured interviews, I analyze three broad- based community-labor coalitions that emerged in Los Angeles between 2000 and 2010 to understand how urban governance has changed – both as a result of the progressive community‘s recent coalition building efforts and as a result of the
