From YouTube: Hyde Park Community Idea Exchange 5/20/2023
Description
Mayor Wu, along with leaders, residents, and stakeholders of the Hyde Park neighborhood, gathered at the Hyde Park Municipal building to share and learn about plans for the Hyde Park community.
A
A
And
so
this
morning
our
agenda
is
pretty
direct.
Four
things
we
want
to
do
the
one
for
three
things
are
going
to
reconnect
us
to
each
other
and
to
what
we
do.
The
last
man
last
spring,
April
last
spring
hot
spring
spring
of
the
white
one,
and
we
are
came
together,
as
you
noticed
our
second
time
together,
we
came
together
to
really
get
coalesce
and
get
some
basic
foundational
thoughts
together
about
how
we
want
to
see
the
community
move
forward.
A
We
have
those
ideas
and
this
time
we're
going
to
connect
to
that
practice
and
build
on
it.
We
also
want
to
share
ideas
together
about
how
we
build
on
those
foundational
thoughts
from
last
year
and
then
we're
going
to
the
third
thing
we're
going
to
plan
some
next
steps.
So
that's
our
foundational
work
today,
we're
here
to
130
in
just
a
few
minutes,
maybe
less
than
that.
Our
mayor
will
join
us
to
give
us
remarks
along
with
City
councilors,
Ruth,
V,
Logan
and
Ricardo
Arroyo
and
Julia
Mejia
and
state
representative
brandy,
brandy,
blue
girl.
A
Oakley
will
be
here
as
well
to
stay
in
Wilma.
So
what
that
means
is
that
people
are
committed
to
our
work
they
are
invested
like
we
are,
and
so
I
want
to
say
to
you
as
you're
looking
around
the
room
in
a
few
minutes
with
your
roll
call.
Let
me
ask
you
to
please
give
yourselves
a
round
of
applause
for
being
here.
A
There
are
about
25
of
you
in
the
relative.
What's
that
say
about
you,
that's
why
you're
applauding
yourself,
because
people
love
this
community,
but
they
won't
step
out
to
shape
it,
and
you
have
done
that.
It's
a
brave
piece
of
work,
it's
laborious!
It's
committed
work,
it's
work!
That
says
you
love
the
community.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
Let
me
step
away.
B
And
so
why
are
we
here
today?
She's
already
described
I'd
like
to
just
give
us
a
glimpse
as
to
how
we
got
here,
and
so
the
community
input
Board
of
Hyde
Park
was
established
in
October
of
2020.
B
as
a
result
of
the
outcry
against
largely
unwanted
development
in
Hyde
Park,
in
particular
the
Burger
King,
that's
on
River
Street,
and
so
from
that
one
of
the
Civic
leaders,
Selena
Tong,
had
organized
a
meeting
in
February
of
that
year
and
during
that
meeting,
the
idea
of
having
a
community
Advisory
Board
was
brought
up
and
everyone
bought
into
it,
including
the
developer,
covet
hit
and
everything
halted
and
then
fast
forward
to
October,
and
we
said
we
need
to
get
this
up
because
development
is
just
going
to
keep
pressing
on
and
we
want
to
help
shape
with
goes
on
in
our
community
and
have
a
voice,
and
so
we
organized
and
gathered
together,
as
Marcia
said
myself,
Marcia,
Marlin
and
Helena
her
neighborhood
organization,
East
River
with
Barbara,
as
well
as
the
Boston
Prep
School
Sharon,
who
was
the
former
executive
director
as
well
as
Castle
Royals
office.
B
We
all
gathered
together
and
started
the
CIB
Community
input
board
fast
forward.
We
have
enlarged
our
territory
if
you
will
meaning
we're
looking
at
more
than
just
the
development
in
that
area
around
the
shops
at
Riverwood,
but
why
not
all
of
icon?
Why
not?
All
of
us
come
together?
Well,
all
of
us
work
together
collaborate
to
shake
the
Hyde
Park
we
want
to
see,
and
so
that's
where
we
are
today,
we're
together,
collaborating
shaping
the
high
part.
B
We
want
to
see
yes,
and
so
we
expect
to
work
with
each
other,
all
the
public
officials,
law
enforcement,
churches,
schools,
organizations
and
agencies.
Let's
do
this
thing
right,
and
so
that
is
not
happening
to
us.
It's
happening
with
us
and
we're
fun
and
Center
as
the
voices
of
all
the
different
stakeholders,
businesses
and
Community
groups
residents,
as
well
as
the
churches,
schools
and.
B
D
Well,
some
of
you
don't
know
me,
but
I'm
the
founder
of
African-American
Academy
check
check.
Can
you
hear
me
that's
better
so.
D
Yeah
yeah
everybody
for
coming
out
here
today.
My
role
in
this
process
has
been
made
me
support
the
research
and
development
data
analysis
and,
just
generally,
all
the
work
that
we
do
we
have.
This
is
data
driven.
This
is
not
just
us
coming
together
to
put
together
an
event
to
make
people
talk
about
it.
D
I
want
to
start
I
just
want
to
say
a
little
quote,
because
today
we're
here
to
do
a
road
maps
for
the
Beloved
Community
in
that
particular
Community,
we
know,
is
finding
the
King's
dream
where
he
saw
the
people,
his
children,
joining
natural
people
with
others,
for
instance,
in
harmony.
D
So
the
code
is
the
end,
is
reconciliation.
The
end
is
redemption.
The
end
is
the
creation
of
the
Beloved
Community.
It
is
in
this
type
of
spirit
and
this
type
of
love
that
can
transform
opponents
into
friends.
It
is
this
type
of
understanding
Goodwill
that
will
transform
the
Deep
Bloom
of
the
old
age
into
the
exuberant
gladness
of
a
new
age.
It
Is,
This
Love,
which
brings
out
the
Miracles
in
the
hearts,
amen.
D
Martin,
Luther
King
said
that
in
a
Christmas
summer,
but
we
are
here
today
because
there's
an
intersection
between
his
dreams
and
urban
planning
right
we're
talking
about
the
loving
communities
that
Community
is
designed.
What
do
we
want
to
put
at
that
before?
What
are
the
kind
of
facilities
that
we
would
like
the
building
and
development
to
facilitate?
That
is
why
we're
here
to
build
on
what
we
did
last
year,
because
a
lot
of
people
came
last
year
and
a
lot
of
people
put
in
a
lot
of
good
books.
D
So
please
understand
you
are
part
of
a
continuation
of
the
process.
This
is
not
the
beginning
and
it's
definitely
not
the
end.
All
right
so
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
little
bit
about
what
we've
done
so
far:
I
specialize
in
redlining
Burger
renewal
and
that
kind
of
studies
to
see
how
it
affected
the
cultures.
In
Boston,
going
from
the
indigenous
African-American
community,
60
of
Roxbury
and
South
End
was
destroyed
in
the
60s
and
we
have
the
building
of
Chinatown.
It
was
cut
in
half
by
I-90.
D
We
have
the
destruction
of
the
West
End
our
government
center.
We
also
have
68
000
Jewish
community
members
who
are
pushed
out
of
the
matter
Planet
area
all
right.
This
is
this-
is
how
ethnicities
it
was.
A
culture
of
Boston
has
changed
because
of
the
infrastructure
that
even
ties
into
the
moving
of
Dudley
The
Dudley
orange
line
to
Roxbury
Crossing.
D
So
we
started
so
our
research
is
based
on
whatever
was
going
on
in
segregation
during
those
days
and
what
was
the
culture
right?
These
independent
Multicultural
communities,
the
Boston,
has
always
been
one
of
the
most
Multicultural
cities
in
the
whole
United
States
of
America.
We
need
to
be
product.
That
is
what
we
inherited.
That's
what
we
are
here.
D
Here
we
have
some
food
for
the
news
like
she
said
we
started
out
in
2020
with
this
work
started,
seeing
that
they
put
a
Burger
King
next
to
Boston
Prep
charter
school.
My
son,
my
daughter,
attended
that
school.
We
were
not
conformed
and
she
said
I
was
dumb
to
us.
We
were
not
brought
upon
the
process
now.
We
don't
know
why
the
developer
left.
D
You
know
why
I
do
that,
but
that's
not
the
attitude
we
want,
but
we
want
developers
to
come
into
our
community
because
Hyde
Park
is
always
open
for
business.
We
just
want
to
work
with
this
business
all
right,
so
we
did
got.
We
put
a
cultural
nutrition
program
into
the
school
to
educate
our
young
people
on
cultural
Cuisine
and
some
of
the
great
restaurants
we
have
here.
D
We've
been
working
with
Northeastern
University
in
our
service
learning
Department
to
develop
out
the
community
benefits
agreement
which
is
available
for
download
on
our
website.
But
yes,
that
work
was
done
to
find
a
roadmap.
What
are
some
of
the
tools
we
can
use
as
a
community
to
try
and
influence
what
developers
are
to.
D
So
finally,
we're
here
today
to
carry
on
that
work.
Add
your
voices
to
the
voices
that
happened
last
year
right,
and
we
want
to
thank
you
for
attending
these
two
points.
D
Well,
we
want
to
please
urge
you
to
be
to
be,
let's
be
honest,
with
our
hips
with
our
inherent
past,
all
right,
let's
really
be
truthful
to
ourselves
and
our
Narrow
Path,
because
if
you
don't
know
where
you're
coming
from
you
can't
know
where
you're
going
all
right,
let's
be
fully
aware
of
our
Collective
presence
situations,
all
right
and
finally,
let's
be
hard-working,
dedicated
to
all
exclusive
Hyde
Park.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Now,
before
we
have
Marcia
and
Vanessa
Jose
come
back
come
up
here,
I
just
wanted
to
apparently
wanted
to
plan
to
access.
We
did
a
pre-event
survey
because.
C
B
And
so
I
just
want
to
recognize
we
heard
from
you
hi
Parker
Sharon,
and
so
what
people
shared
overwhelmingly.
So
many
people
responded
that
the
businesses
have
increased
here,
a
lot
more
restaurants,
a.
B
These
people
had
just
raved
about
the
opening
from
par
54
to
round
head
to
Canvas
Studio
people
love
the
fact
that
jazz
is
just
multiplying
itself.
Even
Beyond
Hyde.
B
And
so
really
excited
about
all
the
new
things
that
are
happening
in
Hyde,
Park
and
so
people
are
looking
forward
to
on
the
tours
coming
through.
I
saw
a
tour
bus,
probably
a
couple
of
Saturdays
ago
and
I
was
like
we
got
people
dropping
off
in
Hyde
Park.
So
it's
exciting
people
recognizing.
B
B
That
right,
some
of
you
have
been
in
here
for
30
40
50
years.
My
husband
I'll,
be
here
in
20,
07
and
I
feel
like
a
long
timer,
even
though
not
as
long
as
some
of
you,
but
it
is
amazing,
an
amazing
neighborhood
in
my
Park
and
so
I'm
just
hearing
and
reading
the
responses
from
people
just
wanted
to
share
and
celebrate.
B
A
lot
has
been
going
on
and
then
the
last
major
consistent
message
that
came
through
the
survey
was
people
were
excited
about
the
coming
together
of
the
residents
and
and
the
community
stakeholders,
and
several
people
have
responded.
It
was
so
great
to
see
the
different
organizations,
the
Civic
associations,
the
businesses
and
so
forth.
All
come
together,
and
so
here
we
are,
let's
keep
building,
let's
keep
working
together.
Thank
you.
A
I'm
going
to
do
a
roll
call
and
you
know
I'm
the
person
who's
a
timekeeper,
so
they
put
me
in
charge
of
these
really
difficult
task,
because
there's
so
many
beautiful
faces
in
the
room,
so
I'm
going
to
do
this
as
efficiently
as
possible.
Here's
how
we're
going
to
do
it
when
I
call
the
Canada
that
you
see
yourself
connected
to
just
stand
up,
please
so
we're
all
the
steady,
Eddies
and
edits
of.
A
A
I
A
No
okay,
they're
on
your
way,
you're
on
their
way
and
then
I
think
I
have
oh
collected
officials,
Western
officials
and
their
offices
and
their
reps.
A
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
being
here
and
so
now.
The
next
thing
we're
going
to
do
before
we
hear
from
our
mayor
is
we're
going
to
do
something
in
our
neighborhood
community
identity.
So
I'm
gonna
play
a
little
word
association
game
with
you
when
I
say
Disney
what
words
come
to
mind,
quickly,
shut
them
up.
A
When
I
say
Nike,
what
do
you
think
of
Cheers?
Let's
do
it
just
do
it
sneakers
when
I
say
ooh.
F
A
F
C
H
A
A
That
is
to
say
that
so
many
of
you
in
your
Corners,
where
you
live,
have
an
idea
about
what
your
community
represents,
but
not
one,
that's
in
total,
and
so
I
want
to
have
us
think
together
in
a
few
minutes
very
very
brief.
To
set
the
foundation
of
what
we're
going
to
talk
about
is
as
I
as
a
Hydrox
brand,
because
as
a
community
organizer
I
can
tell
you
that
having
a
clear
Community
identity
I'm
at
that
stage,
it's
crucial
for
several
reasons.
F
A
Can
have
businesses
and
other
people
attracted
to
the
area
because
of
that
brand,
which
really
also
attracts
visitors
and
tourists
and
more
business
and
then
finally,
the
brand
of
our
community
helps
us
build
a
sense
of
cohesion
and
unity
and
source
is
a
rallying
point
for
events,
activities
initiatives
and
provide
a
shared
vision
of
our
community.
So
we
want
to
build
on
the
idea
of
what
our
brand
is,
so
that
others
can
think
about
us
in
a
certain
way.
Why?
A
Because,
when
people
come
to
Boston
I
used
to
work
in
corporate
and
I,
do
some
corporate
Consulting
work?
People
come
to
Boston
and
professionals
who
make
a
lot
of
money
come
to
Boston
and
they
say:
where
should
I
go
live?
Where
do
you
think
they
can
steer
them?
Where
do
they
stay
at
themselves?
Greatly
JP.
Thank
you
NY,
because
of
the
aura
of
what
attractions
and
safety
right
and
no
diversity
in
most
places
anyway,
not
all
of
them
right.
A
The
idea
that
you
live
in
a
safe
place,
so
we
want
Hyde
Park
to
have
the
brand
of
this
is
a
diverse
Community,
where
you
can
also
have
safety.
You
can
also
have
Vibrance,
you
should
also
have
access
to
activities,
but
we
create
that
people.
It
doesn't
happen
by
mistake.
We
create
that
I,
don't
care
what
they
tell
them.
We
create
that
so
we're
going
to
do
that.
Build
that
narrative
right
now
at
your
table,
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
work.
You
only
have
five
minutes.
You're,
not
gonna,
spend
a
lot
of
time.
A
A
Two
words
that
come
to
mind
when
you
think
of
Hyde,
Park
and
I
really
only
want
you
to
use
three
words.
Three
words.
So
let's
start
this
table
and
give
me
your
Malika
only
one
word:
okay,
one
word.
Can
somebody
subscribe
for
me
who's
here
hat
you
got
any
paper
in
front
of
you.
You
got
it:
okay,
she's,
crying!
Okay!
Let
me
go
one
word
Community,
yes,
quiet
jump,
welcoming
Lara.
B
A
A
K
A
A
A
Community,
quiet
welcoming,
Caribbean
development,
convenient
diverse,
environmentally
rich
hard
working,
Green
Space,
someone
said:
I'm,
safe,
unsafe,
fine,
we'll
take
it
all
art
and
entertainment
open
space.
So
all
those
things
are
language
that
you
have
in
your
brain
about
height
power.
Just
think
about
the
impact
of
that,
wherever
it
lies,
positive
and
negative.
What's
the
impact
of
that
on
your
neighbors
on
you
and
the
way
you
move
about
in
the
space
and
own
that
you
own
what
it
means
to
have
Community,
you
owe
what
it
means
to
have
an
unsafe
Community.
A
H
There
have
been
just
where
I
live,
three
robberies
in
the
store
down
the
street.
For
me,
the
drug
deals
happening
within
a
thousand
feet
of
where
I
live
to
the
point
where
somebody
went
out,
you
know
Etc
et
cetera,
so
I
I,
don't
think
it's
the
safest.
A
Place
in
the
universe,
okay,
okay,
thank
you
for
that
and
listen
y'all.
We
want
to
receive
what
people
bring
to
this
room.
That's
their
experience,
we're
not
going
to
judge
it!
That's
their
experience
and
as
I
said,
if
that
is
your
experience,
now
you
own
the
opportunity
to
shift
that
you
owe
that
and
by
the
way,
just
want
to
say,
as
I
was
thinking
about
my
husband
talking
about
all
the
shootings
that
were
happening
in
the
world
in
the
world,
we're
talking
about
the
Hyde
Park
shooting
so
I'm
like
okay.
A
So
what's
different
about
that,
because
every
place
is
happening.
Holbrook,
hello,
Randolph,
hello,
North,
North
Shore
is
the
word.
I
want
to
say
slowly
right,
so
it's
happening
everywhere
and
crime
happens
to
a
crime,
is
a
function
of
people's
mentality
and
their
sense
of
poverty.
In
their
spirit,
that's
what
crime
is.
A
So
it's
not
just
poor
communities,
everybody
who
doesn't
have
a
sense
of
what
makes
them
Humane
and
loving
and
kind.
All
of
that.
So
let's
take
that
into
consideration.
I.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
offering
this
morning,
I
did
say.
I
was
going
to
take
a
few
minutes
and
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
our
next
activity,
which
would
have
been
the
mayor
coming
to
speak,
but
she's
a
little
delayed.
So
we're
going
to
jump
right
into
our
next
activity,
which
is
having
Jose
my
soul,
Jose.
K
Good
morning,
good
morning,
good
morning,
for
those
of
you
who
watch
I,
move
so
I,
don't
know
about
in
front
of
the
camera
I
apologize,
but
you
will
hear
my
voice
I
hope.
Thank
you
so
much
those
of
you
at
home
watching
listen.
First
and
foremost,
let
me
say
that
for
us
being
here
today,
there
are
a
few
things
that
I
hope
that
we
acknowledge
first
and
foremost,
that
even
though
we're
here
on
May
20th
2023
there's
a
long
history
of
people
who
were
here
before
us.
K
Specifically,
we
have
to
acknowledge
that
we
are
in
Hollow
ground,
because
indigenous
people
of
this
state
of
Massachusetts
occupy
the
space
before
anyone
else
did,
and
it's
because
of
them
that
we
have
to
acknowledge
that
Devil's,
ancestral
Spirits
are
still
with
us
today
to
guide
us
as
we
make
our
decisions
and
suggestions
and
collaborations
this
morning.
So
I
just
want
us
to
be
cognizant
now.
May,
20th
2023
is
the
day
that
we're
here,
but
there's
a
rich
history
of
people
before
us
will
raid
the
groundwork
for
us
to
be
here.
K
K
C
K
K
K
I'm
going
to
ask
Greg
just
to
take
two
minutes:
they
don't
know
him.
This
is
who
he
is
he's
got
a
partner
who's
going
to
mention
in
a
minute.
Why
is
it
you
wound
up
at
the
Westinghouse
building
with
this
fantastic
location
that
you
have
now
that
is
thriving
in
so
many
different
ways
tell
us
quickly
in
two
minutes:
the
story
of
how
you
land
it
and
why
you
landed
and
how
it's
going.
I
What
I'm
here
to
do
is
testify
to
a
lot
of
what
has
been
said
already
in
that
popcorn
style
talk
about
Hyde
Park,
so
here's
a
quesadilla
bring
it
to
a
car,
meets
him
at
the
first
time,
one
of
300
people
that
invested
up
to
300
bucks
into
the
brewery
people
that
I've
never
met
right,
100
Grand
that
we
needed
to
open
Massachusetts.
First
Latino
owned
Brewery
happened
because
Community
came
forward.
It
made
ends
meet
for
us
to
build
out
this
beautiful
space
in
Hyde
Park.
I
So
this
woman
comes
from
her
car
and
she
comes
up
to
me
and
she
says:
I,
don't
even
drink
beer
I'm.
Just
glad
that
you're
here
right,
that
welcoming
Spirit
as
a
business
owner
is
second
to
none
right.
Everything
else
that
we
heard
in
terms
of
being
Multicultural,
but
we
heard
about
diversity
where
we
heard
about
the
Green
Space
here
in
High,
Park,
that
that's
what
dropped
me
to
Hyde,
Park
being
able
to
buy
right
talking
to
a
mentor
say:
hey
wherever
you
choose,
your
business
make
sure
you
enjoy
going
there
every
day.
I
What's
that
ride
like
I
can
bike
here
in
15
minutes
right?
That
makes
joy
in
my
day,
less
traffic
more
being
in
places
with
people
where
I
want
to
be
so
I
think
that
that
Spirit
of
community
and
our
mission
at
roundhead,
which
is
a
beer
that
brings
us
together
because
that's
the
point,
the
beer
is
a
starting
point.
Pizza.
I
As
a
starting
point,
it's
nothing
without
you
all
there!
It's
nothing
right!
It's
that
Sunset!
That
I'm
by
myself
has
so
much
less
meaning
so
being
able
to
do
that
here
in
Hyde
Park
and
bring
people
together.
That's
a
joy
folks
and
do
it
with
a
team
I
see
team
members
in
the
audience
that
are
here
today,
because
they're
prideful
of
High,
Park
and
I
hear
it
and
feel
it
and
love
it
and
proud
to
get
off
to
the
brewery
in
five
minutes
to
open
shop.
K
We're
later,
if
you
haven't
stopped
by,
they
have
great
pizza,
I,
don't
drink
beer,
but
the
pizza
is
fantastic
and
just
the
ambience
is
fantastic
as
well,
but
that's
one
of
the
assets
that
we
now
have
in
this
community
and
when
you
think
about
assets,
think
about
four
legs
of
the
store.
What
do
we
have?
That's
nature?
What
do
we
have
that
has
been
made
by
human
beings?
What
are
the
organizations
that
are
Civic
social,
public,
private
and
spiritual
that
make
up?
Who?
We
are
that's
an
asset,
another
asset.
K
F
K
J
Thank
you,
I
appreciate
it,
hello,
everyone.
J
J
So
my
bad
girl
who
I
grew
up
where
I
came
from
I
I,
make
the
best
of
everything
so
I
knew
right
away.
I
had
a
concept
I
had
food
that
I
believe
was
going
to
make
some
noise
in
the
neighborhood
and
then
throughout
the
city
and
over
the
field.
Over
the
past
three
years,
we've
had
the
opportunity
to
grow
our
business.
We
opened
a
second
location
in
City
Hall.
We
are
on
our
way
to
the
club.
J
We've
had
a
pleasure
to
have
this,
be
the
flagship
and
the
the
the
the
original.
You
know
the
mothership
location
serving
a
lot
of
people
of
importance.
Like
you
know,
the
mayor
from
the
celebrities
from
athletes
and
so
forth
so
like
I,
take
a
lot
of
pride
in
the
passion
what
I
do,
and
so
it's
paying
off.
I'm
grateful
for
this
community.
K
So
we
just
want
to
highlight
those
two,
because
when
all
of
those
notes
you
wrote
about
branding
Hyde
Park,
think
about
all
the
assets
that
we
have
that
make
this
a
thriving
community
right
across
the
street.
We
have
a
bank
right
across
the
street.
We
have
the
river
theater
works
right
across.
We
have
so
many
things
we
have
to
think
of
as
how
do
they
enrich
this
community
this
morning,
when
I
woke
up.
K
I
am
at
the
time
in
my
life
and
I've,
been
so
for
a
while,
where
I
realized
I
had
more
yesterdays
than
tomorrows
more
past
and
future
I
know
them
I'm,
not
the
young
ones,
I'm,
not
the
bright
ones,
that
the
long
road
is
ahead.
I
know
that,
with
every
single
day,
I've
got
to
embrace
my
breath
wholeheartedly,
because
I
can
never
assume
that
tomorrow's
guaranteed.
K
So
that
means
that
every
single
morning,
when
I,
wake
up
I'm
thankful
for
the
blessings
I
receive
and
I
know
that
every
single
morning,
when
I,
wake
up
I
need
to
embrace
the
idea
that
I'm
living
a
purpose
living
life
so
I'm
grateful
I'm
grateful
that
beautiful
woman
who's.
Next
to
me,
my
wife,
Divina
who's,
been
my
partner
for
48
years.
K
K
K
With
the
taste
of
coffee,
that's
how
she
starts
off
my
morning,
I
just
smile
and
say
Lord.
What
did
I
do
to
deserve
this
beautiful
angel
and
the
Lord
says
whatever
you've
done
enjoy,
but
that
sets
the
tools
for
me
because
what
it
says
to
me
that
the
Lord
up
above
in
my
ancestral
spirits
who
guide
me
through
my
journey,
are
giving
me
these
blessings
for
me
to
do
something
with
it.
K
So
I
quickly
go
into
my
morning
prayer
my
morning,
meditation,
which
many
of
you
do
as
well
and
I
sit
there
and
I
quietly.
Ask
may
this
day
be
one
in
which
whatever
I
say,
whatever
I
do,
whatever
I
think,
whatever
I
feel
or
in
sync,
whatever
I
say,
whatever
I
do,
whatever
I
feel,
whatever
I
think
aren't
safe.
K
Let
this
be
a
day
where
I
have
an
opportunity
to
engage
with
other
people
who
are
like-minded
of
thinking
that
we
want
to
leave
this
place
much
better
than
what
it
was
when
we
were
born
much
better
than
it
was
when
we
were
born
people
who
are
not
thinking
only
about
ourselves
but
think
about
future
Generations.
The
engineering
indigenous
communities
of
the
Northeast
would
always
make
decisions
based
on
Seventh
Generations
in
the
future.
They
would
think
what
are
we
doing
today
that
will
impact
Seven
Generations
from
now.
K
K
So,
whatever
we
come
up
with
whatever
suggestions
that
might
be
the
solutions
to
challenges,
whatever
ideas
that
might
continue
to
uplift
all
the
great
things
this
community
has
to
have
and
has
think
along
the
line
of
how
will
it
impact
Seven
Generations
from
now
because,
like
I,
said
tomorrow's
not
guarantee
more
past
the
future
for
yesterday's
and
tomorrow?
So
therefore,
every
single
day,
I'm
on
earth,
like
Muhammad
Ali,
said
don't
count
the
days
make
the
days
count,
don't
count
the
base
count,
and
so
we've
been
asked
today
to
make
sure
that
this
day
counts.
K
K
Let's
do
this
with
love?
Let's
do
this
with
respect.
Let's
do
this
with
transparency
and
openness
to
others.
Ideas
concerns
thoughts,
suggestions
because
we're
here
to
embrace
all
of
us
as
being
part
of
the
solution,
not
part
of
the
problem.
Are
you
with
me
yeah,
when
you
say
hello
to
our
steamed,
dear
City,
councilor
at
Lars,
Lucy
Lujan
who's
right
there
in
the
house.
K
You
can
Define
acid
any
way
you
want,
but
I
would
like
you
to
take
some
time
now.
How
much
time
do
we
have
with
you?
10
minutes,
take
10
minutes
and
put
on
those
pads.
What
you
see
is
being
the
assets
that
Hyde
Park
has
and
that
can
range.
Like
I
said:
I
lived
right
about
playing
ledge
open
space,
my
wife
and
I
bought
our
property,
our
home
40,
something
big.
What
was
that
48
years
ago,
45
years
ago,
45
years
ago,
45
years
ago,
we
bought
our
home.
K
C
K
That's
another
asset.
The
bank
I
mentioned
is
another
asset:
the
businesses,
another
assets,
the
schools,
you
just
name
whatever
comes
to
your
mind
as
being
an
asset
for
Hyde,
Park
and
don't
just
think
clearly,
Square
think
from
the
borders
of
my
path,
all
the
way
to
rebuild
to
JP
Rosendale.
What
are
those
assets
and
momentarily
we're
going
to
have
our
honorable
mayor
who's
joined
us
this
morning,
Michelle
woo
who's
in
the
house,
foreign.
F
K
Okay,
so
yeah
here's
what
I
like
to
do
before
we
bring
the
honorable
mayor,
Michelle
root
to
the
podium.
If
I
can
have
for
me
stable
one
or
two
folks
share
with
us.
What
are
some
of
the
assets
that
your
table
has
listed
and
we'll
go
around
table
by
table
I'm
going
to
start
since
you're
closer
to
me
am
I
right.
Could
this
day
will
be
kind
enough
to
have
one
or
two
people
just
share
some
of
those
assets?
F
K
E
A
E
Hello:
everyone.
We
have
green
space,
historic
landmarks
like
54,
regimen
bike
path,
not
on
the
street,
not
on
street
and
public
transportation.
Even
though
we
know
the
MBTA
needs
to
work,
they're,
still
great
accessible
public
transportation,
excellent.
K
L
Making
the
EPA
team
back
here,
I've
already
made
them
part
of
my
family
all
right
and
then
the
golf
course
yeah
we've
listed
some
well,
we
thought
were
potential
assets
because
we're
making
some
assumptions
here
at
the
theater
yep.
But
why
yeah?
L
Because
we're
talking
about
you
who
don't
have
a
facility,
that's
responsive
to
our
youth
right
and
the
spray
Pond
yeah
yeah
I,
really
don't
do
my
list.
F
L
I
work
out
two
days
a
week
here,
that's
great:
what's
this
one
homes
and
neighbors
yeah.
L
A
I'm
sorry
so.
M
Our
table
came
up
with,
we
have
a
social
thing:
public
transportation.
G
N
Stand:
Commuter
Rail
station
proximity
and
parking
the
American
African-American
history
with
the
54
regimen
parks
and
local
restaurants
and
businesses,
the
YMCA
and
it's
a
canvas
for
the
imagination.
E
Barbara
Hamilton
the
East
River
Street
neighborhood
association,
a
Hyde
Park
resident
in
the
family
since
1912.
E
Of
course,
the
Neponset
River
was
also
mentioned.
The
river
Theater
Works
schools
commuter
rail.
K
G
K
K
K
We
don't
start
off
by
saying
we
can't
do
that
room
because
we
don't
have
we
start
off
by
saying
we
can
do
the
room,
because
we
have
x
y
z
available
to
us
at
that
room
to
the
homework
building,
so
the
asset
building
exercises
one
not
to
think
about
our
community
from
deficits,
but
to
think
from
our
community
of
what
are
the
assets.
What
is
the
vision
we
have
for
our
community?
K
But
it's
also
all
of
us
who
make
these
assets
wise
to
make
sure
that
we
uplift
the
things
that
we
have.
We
mentioned
we're
in
the
movie
building.
So
when
you
think
about
the
Boston
Center
for
Youth
and
families
and
their
engagement
with
youth
and
Families,
what's
the
perspective?
How
is
it
being
done
to
leverage
those
young
kids
that
we
spoke
about
before,
so
they
can
put
their
hands
in
the
ground
and
know
about
the
Earth
and
what
it
produces
as
far
as
sustainability,
their
food?
K
K
What
does
it
add
to
the
table
if
we
say
you
know
what
they
should
know
about
arts
and
culture,
and
what
does
it
add
to
the
table?
We
say
and
they
should
be
physically
active,
so
the
acids
that
make
that
possible
in
many
ways
we're
fortunate
to
have
a
mayor
who
sees
those
visions
as
the
reality
of
what
we
can
do.
So
you
please
welcome
it.
I
want
to
mention
Isaac
Yahoo.
K
K
P
You
see
this
is
on
a
Saturday.
O
I
could
I
could
have
upped
it
a
little
bit
if
I
knew
I
was
going
to
be
following
him
on
the
program,
but
I
was
I've
had
a
full
day
already.
P
Door
and
then
the
other
game
and
then
and
then
now
out,
I'm
able
to
have
some
time
with
community
and
the
best
part
of
this
job.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
because,
as
you
heard,
we
at
the
city
are
really
trying
to
move
forward
wherever
we
can
with
the
Mantra
of
we
don't
need
to
settle.
We
don't
need
to
settle
for
just
surviving
as
communities
and
there's
a
lot
out
there.
P
Now
I
I,
every
corner
of
our
city,
there's
still
tremendous
stress
and
the
issues
we
all
can
run
through:
around
housing,
affordability
and
and
jobs
and
transportation
and
education.
We
are
focused
on
making
sure
that
the
city
is
doing
everything
possible
on
all
those
fronts,
but,
as
you
heard,
our
goal
is
also
to
move
the
conversation
Beyond.
Just
how
do
we
make
sure
you
don't
get
displaced?
How
do
we
make
sure
you
don't
have
a
a
flood
or
a
storm
coming
to
split
in
and
destroy
all
of
our
property?
P
P
I
will
use
every
ounce
of
energy
that
I
have
as
a
mom,
with
kids
in
the
Boston
public
schools,
with
our
allies
and
partners
on
the
city
council
and
the
school
committee
and
the
school
department
to
make
sure
that
we
are
going
to
leave
the
country
on
public
education,
but
the
converse
station
cannot
stop
and
just
what
we
think
about
checking
the
box
for
kids
right.
It
is
about
how
do
we
make
sure
they
are
plugged
into
everything
that
is
possible
for
them
to
grow
in
the
city?
P
P
And
that's
approach
we're
trying
to
take
in
every
area.
How
do
we
make
sure
that
we're
creating
more
housing?
That's
yes,
affordable,
actually
affordable
for
people
who
live
in
our
communities
now,
but
also
building
communities
having
spaces
that
are
that
are
possible
for
multi-generational
families
to
stay
together
for
kids
to
be
in
a
in
a
a
space?
P
That's
not
just
you
know
one
bedroom,
but
has
the
space
that
a
family
needs
is
connected
to
Green,
Space
nearby
and
the
Energy
Efficiency,
so
that
you're
not
having
to
spend
all
your
money
paying
utilities,
because
your
building
is
so
energy
efficient.
There's
everything
that
we
do.
We
want
to
think
of
as
interconnected,
and
that
is
why
I
believe
that
neighborhoods
are
really
the
foundational
building
block
in
Boston.
Neighborhoods
are
where
you
get
the
chance
to
look
across
every
one
of
these
issues
and
how
they
are
part
of
a
fabric.
P
I
P
P
Right
down,
the
data
shows
that
one
of
the
biggest
differences
between
30
40
years
ago
and
now
is
that
one
our
society
is
more
segregated
than
ever,
not
just
by
race
but
by
educational
out
by
by
degree
of
Education
that
families
have
had
by
socioeconomic
background.
Our
kids
30
40
years
ago,
used
to
be
exposed
to
a
whole
wider
range
of
people,
because
our
neighborhoods
used
to
be
much
more
multi-income,
multi-generational
multi-racial.
P
The
other
big
difference
is
that
we
know
our
neighbors
far
less
now
in
general,
I'm,
not
saying
Hyde
Park
in
general,
across
everything
in
this
country,
people
used
to
spend
on
average
multiple
evenings
a
week
hanging
out
with
their
neighbors.
They
had
the
time
to
do
so
because
the
pay
scales
and
inflation
weren't
what
they
are
now
and
you
didn't
have
to
feel
like
you-
need
to
work
two
or
three
jobs
just
to
make
ends
meet.
P
They
also
didn't
have
the
the
sort
of
electronic
handcuffs,
the
iPhone
and
everything
keeping
you
attached,
sometimes
to
your
job
or
everything
else,
and
there
was
just
a
sense
of
more
knowing
your
neighbors
means.
Greater
trust
means
greater
dreaming,
means
greater
action
collectively
and
so
I
think
the
only
place
that
we
can
solve
what
we're
seeing
across
the
country
right
now,
a
huge
sense
of
division
and
mistrust
and
conspiracy
theories
missing.
You
know
all
the
things
that
we
it's
so
exhausting
to
read
about
that
lead
to
horrible
outcomes.
P
The
only
place
we
can
solve
that
and
rebuild
that
trust
back
is
at
the
local
level.
It's
at
the
block
by
block
neighborhood
by
neighborhood,
City
level,
and
so
I
am
so
grateful
because
Hyde
Park
is
just
an
example
of
you
know.
If
block
parties
are
step,
one
you
all
are
at
the
the
kind
of
supercharged
how.
P
Our
own
hands
level,
and
we
at
the
city
want
to
be
there
to
amplify
and
Empower
that
our
changes
to
the
you
know.
Sometimes
these
things
don't
get
attention
as
much
as
big
flashy
announcements,
but
the
changes
we're
trying
to
make
to
the
zoning
code
to
the
bpda,
to
the
ways
that
our
community
grows,
based
on
whether
we
plan
together
or
whether
we
think
about
it,
just
one
by
one
by
one,
segregated
and
separated.
P
That
is
going
to
be
the
building
block
of
how
we
get
the
entire
city
to
have
the
conversations
that
you're
having
in
this
room
today.
So
please
keep
at
it.
Please
hold
us
to
account,
hold
us
accountable
at
the
city
level
for
supporting
what
you
are
building
and
dreaming
of
today,
because
we
need
to.
We
need
to
follow
your
lead
in
this,
and
we
need
Hyde
Park
to
continue
to
be
the
role
model
for
so
many
across
the
city.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
being
here
today.
P
K
Thank
you
marijuana,
so
those
of
us
can
remember
Subaru.
You
know
what
food
stands
for.
What's
the
same
point
for
us
by
us
about
us,
so
I
think
the
message
for
today
is
that
you
are
representing
your
neighbors
in
your
neighborhoods
so
that
what
High
Park
becomes
is
for
us
and
it's
by
us,
and
it's
about
us.
