But like most great institutions of higher learning, Northeastern had modest origins. At the end of the nineteenth century, immigrants and first-generation Americans constituted more than half of Boston’s population. Chief among the city’s institutions committed to helping these people improve their lives was the Boston YMCA. The YMCA became a place where young men gathered to hear lectures on literature, history, music, and other subjects considered essential to intellectual growth. In response to the enthusiastic demand for these lectures, the directors of the YMCA organized the “Evening Institute for Young Men” in May 1896. Frank Palmer Speare, a well- known teacher and high-school principal with considerable experience in the public schools, was hired as the institute’s director.

The 2021 Boston Mayoral Race
HISTORY IN THE MAKING: THE 2021 BOSTON MAYORAL RACE Last month, Boston broke a 200-year streak of exclusively white, male Mayors with Kim Janey’s inauguration. Janey just announced her campaign for the full-term Mayoral seat, adding her candidacy to a historically diverse field that already included three City Councilors and women of color: Andrea Campbell, Annissa Essaibi George, and Michelle Wu. The significance of this race : Boston has never had such a diverse field to hold the city’s top Executive Office. For the first time, the field for Mayor will reflect the demographics of Boston, which is 52% women and 55% people of color. As City Councilors, each woman in this race has already made significant progress in a city with a political scene that Barbara Lee, founder and president of the Barbara Lee Family Foundation, calls the “original old boys club” for its insular and homogenous history. At the Barbara Lee Family Foundation, we’ve identified an “imagination barrier” that hinders voters from perceiving women as executive leaders. Kim Janey has chipped away at that barrier for Boston—and now Campbell, Essaibi George, Janey, and Wu’s campaigns will continue to represent a new face of leadership for the city. 1 What research shows about the field: Barbara Lee Family Foundation research shows that the idea that women are not as electable as their male counterparts is a myth. However, women, and particularly women of color, are held to different, higher standards on the campaign trail than men. While men are assumed to be qualified for office, women must prove their qualifications over and over again.

May 20, 2021 The Honorable Charles Schumer The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Leader Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, Leader McConnell, and Leader McCarthy: As 81 mayors representing communities across 28 states and the District of Columbia, we write to urge Congress to enact the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act (AHCIA) of 2021, S. 1136 and H.R. 2573, which would strengthen and expand the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (Housing Credit). The Housing Credit is our nation’s primary tool for encouraging private investment in affordable rental housing. While rental assistance is critical for keeping renters in their homes during this time of financial instability, the need for more affordable housing production and preservation in cities and towns preceded the pandemic. Since its creation in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the Housing Credit has been the primary financing source for the production and preservation of affordable rental housing. It has financed nearly 3.5 million apartments since 1986, providing affordable homes to approximately 8 million low-income households, including families, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities. The Housing Credit brings together private-sector resources and oversight by state agencies, resulting in a durable solution to the need for affordable housing. The AHCIA of 2021 includes a number of provisions that would enhance the program and enable cities like ours to better serve the affordable housing needs in our communities.
