Mr. President. How about adding to those words that “those are criminal acts”. Just like the alleged criminal act being leveled at the Ferguson City police officer. Instead 50 FBI agents are dispatched to canvas a small city block of potential witnesses. While, at the same time, Veterans have died in hospitals for neglect and we can get no answers. In fact insert any one of a dozen incidents this administration has taken questionable positions on. At the same time, neither the President nor his Attorney General misses an opportunity to remind us of America’s racial history. We know it Mr. President. Do you? That’s why you and your buddy have your jobs; because America doesn’t play the race game anymore.

  • 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Dear Friends
    Our mission is to help young people, especially those who need us most, build strong character and realize their full potential as responsible citizens and leaders. We do this by providing: a safe haven filled with hope and opportunity, ongoing relationships with caring adults, and life-enhancing programs. BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF BOSTON 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Dear Friends, This year – and for the last three years – under the remarkable leadership of outgoing Board Chair Dana Smith, Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston has worked diligently to develop an incredible breadth and depth of thoughtfully designed programs to help our members succeed academically, live healthy lifestyles, practice good citizenship and be prepared for life after the Club. In this report, I invite you to read about just a few of the opportunities we provided to more than 17,000 young people at our Clubs. While BGCB invests $3,100 to serve each member – many of whom come from households with incomes of less than $33,000 per year – we only charge $25 per school year for 6-12 year olds and just $5 a year for teens – and no child is turned away because of an inability to pay. Each one of the generous contributions made by the individuals, corporations, foundations and community partners listed in this report played an important role in making this possible. In order to stay affordable and continue to offer even more enriching programs to the kids who need us most, I am excited to share that we successfully completed our five-year Opening Doors Campaign for Our Children, Our City, Our Future and surpassed our goal of $125 million – raising $131 million! We have also exceeded our planned giving goal of securing over 75 members of the Frederic C.

In Boston, population growth and rising housing costs have spurred new development of luxury housing and renovation of existing residential buildings, putting pressure on existing neighborhood tenants and homeowners. As a response to these phenomena, perceived as contributing to a displacement and eviction crisis in Boston, organizations within the Right to the City Alliance proposed legislation that they felt would "slow down" the processes leading to eviction of tenants in larger buildings and former homeowners in their foreclosed properties.

Since then, the library has disappeared and reappeared in various forms in Chinatown for different reasons. In 1956, the City of Boston demolished the Tyler Street Branch Library and since 2000, community groups in Chinatown have been advocating for their own branch of the BPL. This thesis explores why the Chinatown community does not have a library in 2010 and why the movement to reclaim one has gained momentum in the past ten years. The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate that the public library is a diagnostic window into society; $/,'8)%&2%-39'%$1'.!,#"$%.-19'"-2'$/,'1,#:%;,1'%$'!#.:%2,1'#,<,;$'$/,'1.;%"&9',;.-.+%;9'"-2'!.&%$%;"&' contexts of time and place.
