Thank
you
for
taking
time
on
a
Saturday
morning
right
before
Christmas
to
come
here
and
participate
in
what
I
think
is
such
an
important
discussion
such
an
important
dialogue
now
as
important
as
ever,
if
not
more,
we're
also
want
to
welcome
you
and
first
that's
thank
our
hosts
here
at
Northeastern
University,
for
allowing
us
this
opportunity
to
be
here
at
the
Blackman
auditorium.
As
you
know,
we
are
here
today
for
a
can,
discuss
a
community
discussion
and
a
chance
to
speak
with
the
mayor.
E
Ask
him
some
questions,
hear
what
he
has
to
say
about
the
topic
of
racism.
Fact
that
this
is
the
second
annual
Boston
talks
about
racism
in
and
of
itself
tells
you
that
this
is
something
that
this
city
and
the
folks
in
our
family,
because
we
are
familia.
We
are
a
family
we
want
and
we
need
to
discuss
and
I
know.
Sometimes
it's
framed
in
a
black
and
white
situation,
but
we
all
know
it's
not
black
and
white.
We
all
know
that
this
goes
beyond
the
african-american.
E
It
also
includes
the
Latinos,
the
Muslim
immigrants
coming
in
Cape,
Verde
ins
and
many
other
groups.
So
it's
important
that
we
are
aware
of
the
changing
dynamic
while
we're
looking
to
become
a
more
socially
cohesive
and
resilient
City.
We
are
still
facing
a
great
deal
of
racism
in
the
workplace,
in
schools
and
in
our
communities.
G
How's
everybody
doing
oh,
no
pressure,
no
pressure,
alright,
so
I
grew
up
in
Boston
I'm,
a
Puerto
Rican
artist,
I
major
in
photography
and
poetry,
I'm
gonna
drop
to
pieces
today,
for
you
guys
and
first
of
all,
thank
you
for
coming.
Thank
you
for
being
here
and
having
this
discussion.
We
all
know
it's
very
important,
especially
in
the
times
that
we
are
in
today
and
I
hope
we
start
off
on
the
day
good
with
these
pieces,
so
the
first
one
is
called
when
I
was
blind
and
growing
up
in
the
neighborhood.
G
G
Back
when
I
was
blind,
I
didn't
mind
all
the
confusion.
I
was
blind
to
the
fact
that
I
was
living
in
illusion
during
school,
I
focused
and
almost
all
my
classes
and
believed.
Almost
everything
I
saw
through
my
glasses
history
class.
My
favorite.
It
became
a
memory
game.
Remember
the
date
of
the
war,
the
name
and
who
was
to
blame
I
was
sleep
with
no
worries
and
dreamed
of
being
famous.
Of
course,
that
was
before
I
even
know.
G
We're
famous
I
look
forward
to
the
future
and
used
to
playing
all
my
days
out,
not
just
live
for
the
moment
and
see
how
it
all
just
plays
out
back
when
I
was
blind.
I
believed
in
our
president,
called
myself
an
American
and
even
felt
like
a
resident.
I
was
proud
of
our
military
system,
because
I
grew
up
cold-hearted
now,
I'm
just
shocked
that
all
the
wars
we
started.
If
you
would
have
asked
me
back,
then
I
would
have
said
I'm
Puerto
Rican.
G
As
far
as
my
native
tongue,
it
was
the
Spanish
I
was
speaking,
but
then
I
read
a
few
books
and
began
to
realize
that,
throughout
my
whole
life
I've
been
living
realised.
My
people
were
conquered
by
the
Spaniards,
despite
our
bravery
600
years
later,
and
we
still
live
enough
slavery.
The
French
did
the
same
thing
to
the
Haitians
so
that
England
and
Portugal
with
every
other
nation
we
adopted
their
language
culture
and
everything
else
wit
it
now
so
brain
while
she
won't
even
admit
it.
The
truth
I
spit
it,
but
they
still
don't
see
it.
G
Cuz
ain't
really
looking
meanwhile
I'm
overwhelmed
with
the
smell.
What
the
government
is
cooking
is
really
kinda
obvious.
It
doesn't
take
a
scientist.
It
barely
took
a
spark
just
a
spark
of
my
interest
back
when
I
was
blind.
I
did
not
respect
the
Most
High,
just
children
cyphers
trying
to
be
the
Most
High
I
watch
TV
all
day
no
work
I'll
play.
G
Warmed
up
all
right,
so
this
next
piece
I'm
apologizing
ahead
of
time,
but
you
guys
are
gonna,
have
to
interact
with
me.
Hopefully
this
wakes
you
guys
up
and
if
it
doesn't
work
out,
is
your
fault?
It's
all
your
fault,
because
you
didn't
interact
with
me
so
anytime.
That
I
put
my
hand
up
like
this
I
want
you
guys
to
scream
at
me
with
a
passion
and
ask
me
where
you
from
so
we're
gonna
practice
that
real
quick,
you
guys
did
this
before
all
right.
Let's
do
that!
Let's
do
this!
I
love!
G
You
guys,
I'm
from
where
your
heat
oh
sit
on
the
front
porch
in
the
morning
in
panco
mantequilla,

I'm
Iquitos

youngest
kid

the
oldest,

the
cocoa

I'm
from
where
you
get
smacked
for
misbehaving,
and
then
you
get
smacked
again
for
crying
about
it,
get
a
joke
on
Ghana!
Well,
if
you
tell
your
mom
think
of
one
blade
but
don't
want
to
eat
what
she

G
She

I'm
from
where

So
then
you
ask
mommy
and
she
be
like
work
and
all
that,
but
I
won't
tell
her
to
bite
and
then
I'd
be
like
I
did
and
I
asked,
and
he
told
me
they
had
to
read
about
Yahoo
at
Nintendo
I'm
from
where
I'm
to
Americanize
to
be
boricua.
G
But
I'm
too

got
to
be
American,
where
we
juggle
two
languages
being
fasting
on
a
daily
basis,
where,
if
someone
doesn't
understand
English,
we
switch
it
up
like
oh,
like
I
messed
up.
Well,
you
like
to

where
you

grab
fruit

front
of
your
casa,
where
it's
normal
to
see
someone

down
the
carretera

a
caballo

G
If
you
listen
closely,
you

But

all.
G
We

little
P

Claro,
you
think
you're
better
than
that
Liga
Neto
Campello
model,
where
why
Spain
is
raped
and
abused?
Those
who
came
before
me
to
the
point
that
I
can
close
my
eyes
and
feel
their
pain
I'm
from
where
every
plate
of
food
comes
going.
E
Recognized
a
lot
of
those
limes
myself.
You
got
hurt
anyway,
I'm
moving
on
Thank
You
Pedro.
That
was
terrific.
Now
I
want
to
welcome
and
I
for
you
folks
to
give
a
really
warm
round
of
applause
to
our
host,
a
man
who
is
as
impressive,
if
not
more
impressive
in
person
than
his
on
his
resume.
The
president
of
Northeastern
University,
who
helped
make
this
possible
Joseph
Aoun.
H
Morning,
I'll
be
brief,
which
is
difficult
for
university
president,
so
my
job
here
is
to
welcome
you
to
Northeastern
and
also
to
talk
about
what
is
happening
here
with
us.
But
let
me
start
with
a
personal
note:
I'm
an
immigrant
I
came
to
this
country
some
years
ago
and
I
came
to
Boston
and
Boston
for
me
has
been
my
first
home.
I
left
Boston,
went
to
Los
Angeles
and
came
back
24
years
24
years
later,
and
Boston
welcomed
me.
H
I
am
happy
to
say
that
every
year
we
have
400
over
close
to
500
students,
480
students
from
the
Boston
Public
Schools,
who
are
here
with
us
on
fully
supported
by
grants
by
financial
aid
given
to
them,
and
this
is
a
work
that
has
been
going
on
for
some
years.
Thanks
to
the
mayor,
we
are
providing
opportunities,
also
not
only
in
terms
of
education
but
in
terms
also
of
wellness.
H
You
know
we're
working
on
the
cutter
playground,
we're
working
with
health,
health
centers,
we're
providing
opportunities,
also
in
terms
of
businesses
providing
businesses
to
minorities
in
our
neighborhood
to
the
tune
of
65
million
dollars,
we're
providing
opportunities
in
terms
of
culture
into
all
rules,
not
to
forget
our
roots.
We
because
of
the
work
with
the
community.
We
launched
the
lower
Roxbury
black
history
project
and
I
invite
you
to
go
visit,
the
the
work
that's
being
done
in
its
here
on
campus.
H
You
can
go
to
the
library,
it's
the
oral
history
of
lower
Roxbury
and
the
black
community,
so
if
I
provide
this
picture
is
to
tell
you
that
a
lot
is
being
done
and
will
not
only
institution
doing
it,
but
we
may
be
the
institution
that's
doing
the
most.
But
beyond
that,
there
is
a
lot
to
do.
There
is
a
lot
to
do
because
on
a
daily
basis,
I
see
students
here
who
are
afraid
to
say
who
they
are.
We
have
darker
students
who
are
afraid
to
say
who
they
are
and
that's
unacceptable.
H
You
know
once
again
and
I
you
know
they
tell
me
when
we
talk
one-on-one,
they
say
I
rather
be
here
than
any
other
city
in
the
United
States.
Let's
not
forget
that
there
is
a
lot
to
be
done
at
all
levels,
providing
opportunities
and
the
dialogue
about
race.
In
welcoming
immigrants,
when
I
talk
to
members
of
the
Muslim
community,
they
are
going
through
a
rough
time,
it's
very
difficult
to
be
Muslim
and
once
again
they
say
I
rather
be
here
than
in
any
other
city.
Are
we
perfect?
Not
no.
H
We
are
not,
but
while
doing
a
lot,
the
city
is
doing
a
lot
and
I
think
we
have
a
leader,
the
mayor,
who
is
really
charting
a
path
for
all
of
all
of
us,
a
vision
of
unity,
but
also
a
vision
of
work,
so
welcome
to
Northeastern
one
more
time
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
being
part
of
this
dialogue.
Thank
you
very
much.
E
Thank
you
very
much
I'd.
He
doesn't
need
the
little
stool
eat
their
little
riser
here.
Otherwise,
it'd
be
like
hello,
no
problem
being
five
foot
six
anyway,
before
I
introduce
the
our
next
speaker.
I,
looked
up
the
definition
today,
just
to
make
sure
that
I
knew
exactly
what
it
meant.
The
word
resilience
it's
part
of.
Why
we're
here
today,
just
straight
definition
the
capacity
to
recover
quickly
from
difficulties
toughness.
E
Let
me
introduce
first
in
2015,
dr.
idea:
Martin
became
the
city's
first
chief
of
resilience,
the
first
chief
resilience
officer
under
the
leadership
of
the
washing
administration.
Dr.
Martin's
office
is
engaged
with
advancing
racial
equity
and
strengthening
our
collective
resilience
to
thrive.
When
confronting
issues
of
racism
that
persist
in
our
communities.
Please
everyone
welcome
dr.
at
the
MIT.
I
Good
morning,
everyone
you
all
look
amazing
I,
am
so
happy
to
see
these
beautiful
faces
sitting
out
here
in
the
audience.
I
don't
have
a
lot
of
time,
and
I
won't
go
into
a
lot
of
details
on
a
lot
of
things.
But
what
I
wanted
to
do
is
give
us
an
overview
of
what
today,
the
rest
of
today
is
going
to
look
like
connected
back
to
the
resilient
strategy
and
then
give
you
a
brief
overview
of
the
sessions,
the
breakout
sessions
that
we're
going
to
have.
I
So
you
can
be
thinking
about
where
you
would
like
to
go
for
today
that
sound
good
all
right.
So
first
I
want
to
thank
all
of
the
folks
who
have
been
on
this
journey
with
us
from
the
beginning
from
since
when
I
started,
and
so
thank
you
to
the
boss
and
resilience
collaborative.
Thank
you
to
all
of
our
supporters
who
have
come
out
to
all
the
events.
We've
helped
to
coordinate
and
facilitate
over
the
last
few
years,
and
thank
you
to
all
of
you
for
being
here
with
us
today.
I
It
is
an
honor
and
a
pleasure
to
have
had
this
opportunity
to
serve
in
the
role
of
chief
resilience
officer
and
when
we
think
about
the
relationship
of
resilience
to
the
policies
and
practices
and
our
own
roles
as
individuals
and
organizations.
The
idea
here
is
that
we
take
responsibility.
We
take
responsibility
for
the
fact
that
we're
part
of
building
resilience
in
this
city,
but
also
the
actions
that
we
take
and
also
detract
from
that
resilience.
I
We're
actually
going
to
do
it
anymore
in
form
a
way
that
allows
us
to
have
a
deeper
conversation
about
what
happened
in
our
different
groups.
We
will
be
kicked
off
with
lunch
to
wrap
us
up
and
we
are
going
to
have
the
chittock
chorus
choir,
come
and
finish
us
off
for
the
day,
so
we
are
going
to
have
little
people
wrapping
us
up
today
with
their
beautiful
voices
as
it
should
be.
I
I
So
it's
leveraging
dialogue
for
us
to
be
able
to
get
to
the
action,
but
we
have
to
start
with
the
dialogue
piece
first
and
so
that
that
will
be
in
Richards,
200
and
I'll
bring
this
back
up
later,
but
I
want
you
to
focus
on
the
topic
so
that
you
can
be
thinking
about
where
you
want
to
go.
So
we
actually
have
some
facilitators
with
us
here
today.
Who've
gone
through
that
training
that
you
can
talk
to
and
ask
questions
and
give
feedback
to.
I
The
other
group
is
Boston's
immigrant
community,
and
this
is
about
exploring
the
realities
of
what's
happening
at
the
national
level,
with
immigration
policies
and
what
we
can
be
doing
here
at
the
local
level
and
really
again.
This
is
another
exploratory
session.
That
really
is
about
setting
the
framing
of
the
information,
but
also
getting
your
feedback.
I
And
how
do
we
address
issues
of
the
wealth
gap
and
then
the
last,
but
certainly
not
least,
is
walk,
talk
and
learn
session,
and
this
one
will
be
where
we
talk
a
lot
about
several
different
initiatives
that
we
have
that
are
moving
forward.
They
are
funded
and
there's
also
some
resources
available
to
the
community,
and
many
of
you
to
learn
more
about
that.
Can
support
ideas
and
work
that
you
would
like
to
do
in
the
community
and
resources
that
will
fund
that
work.
I
I
So
all
that
said
what
we
would
like
to
do
next
is
to
show
you
an
amazing
video
that
highlights
the
work,
that's
happening
in
City
Hall
around
advancing
racial
equity
as
a
baseline,
and
please
know
that
there's
more
happening,
and
please
know
that
there
will
be
more
happening
in
the
future.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
to
see
you
all
again
today.
Thank
you
for
the
folks
who
this
is
their
first
time
coming
to
one
of
our
events,
and
we
are
gonna
have
an
amazing
morning.
Thank
you.
J
C
C
We
started
something
new
in
Boston,
without
dialogues
on
race.
It's
more
than
a
conversation.
It's
a
commitment
to
keeping
equity
at
the
top
of
the
agenda
in
everything
that
we
do
to
me.
Inequitable
Boston
is
a
city
where
everyone
can
get
what
they
need
to
drive,
but
we
don't
all
start
from
the
same
place.
We
have
a
history
with
racism
in
our
country
in
our
city,
its
impacts
are
deeply
rooted.
So
these
can
be
hard
conversations,
but
there
are
necessary
conversations.
C
We
have
challenged
ahead
of
us
as
a
city
in
the
21st
century,
climate
change,
inequality,
problems
in
Washington.
We
have
to
be
united
and
we
have
to
break
down
the
barriers
that
divide
us.
We
have
to
draw
on
all
of
our
talent
and
strength.
Our
future
depends
on
it
and
our
values
demand
it.
That's
why
we
put
a
racial
equity
at
the
heart
of
our
resiliency
plan
and
that's
why
we
focus
on
equity
in
everything
we
do.
L
We
found
in
Boston's
first
office
of
diversity
to
achieve
greater
equity
in
the
city's
workforce.
We've
worked
to
make
sure
the
hiring
process
is
more
accessible
to
communities
of
color.
We
foster
Career
Development
to
make
sure
workers
of
color
can
move
up
to
the
decision,
making
positions
and
we've
increased
transparency.
The
diversity
dashboard
you
can
explore
online.
We.
M
Also
report
on
our
progress,
for
example,
new
data
shows
that
last
year,
54%
of
the
city's
new
hires
were
people
of
color.
That's
a
first
for
the
city
of
Boston
and
we
help
launch
for
new
employee
resource
groups,
including
for
workers
of
color.
We
focus
on
equity
in
our
culture
as
well
as
in
our
data.
We.
N
N
P
Have
refocused
Boston's
economic
policy
around
the
equity
and
inclusion
agenda,
we
created
Boston's,
first
citywide
small
business
plan
with
a
goal
of
increasing
racial
and
geographic
equity.
For
the
first
time
that
work
is
supporting
coops
and
employee
ownership
models
that
keep
more
wealth
in
the
community.
We
strengthen
the
Boston
residents,
jobs
policy,
so
more
local
workers
of
color
are
sharing
in
our
construction
boom.
We're
also
working
to
get
businesses
owned
by
people
of
color
more
access
to
city
contracts.
Q
As
we
pitch
to
these
new
companies,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
company
knows
what
we
stand
for
and
also
how
we
can
benefit
from
what
they
stand
for.
It's
a
great
opportunity
to
really
link
our
values
together
and
I.
Think
at
the
heart
of
that
is
how
we
can
create
more
equity
and
more
inclusion
for
our
students
for
people
across
all
neighborhoods
in
Boston,
and
really
provide
more
access
points
for
people
to
feel
plugged
in
to
the
workforce
development
opportunities
that
many
of
these
companies
can
provide
within
the
Boston
community
equity.
R
Is
at
the
core
of
our
education
strategy?
We
talk
less
now
about
achievement,
gaps
and
more
about
opportunity
gaps.
We
know
that
if
outcomes
are
diverging,
that
means
opportunities
are
missing.
Our
work
is
focused
on
closing
those
gaps,
whether
in
access
to
information
and
curriculum
and
facilities,
or
in
resources
at
home
and
in
the
in
Boston.
K
Public
Schools,
we
are
focused
on
equity
in
everything
we
do.
We
are
closing
the
opportunity
gap
in
pre-kindergarten
we're
bringing
rigorous
curriculum
and
STEM
skills,
not
to
some
schools,
but
all
schools,
and
in
the
last
year
we
have
strengthened
our
national
leadership
in
hiring
teachers
and
leaders
of
color.
Sixty
percent
of
our
new
principals
we
hired
are
black
and
for
the
first
time
in
history,
all
three
exam
schools
are
led
by
people
of
color.
We.
S
T
The
last
year
we've
collected
a
new
round
of
data
from
the
225
employers
that
are
part
of
the
women's
workforce
Council
in
this
new
report.
Not
only
did
we
pay
attention
to
the
wage
gap
by
gender,
but
also
by
race,
because
we
know
that
the
barriers
for
women
of
color
are
even
greater
than
white
women.
The.
U
U
We
recognize,
as
we've
done,
a
vulnerability
assessment,
that
some
of
the
most
impacted
communities
will
be
those
that
have
the
least
means
to
respond
to
those
issues,
and
that
means
that,
as
we
do,
that
planning
as
we
take
those
actions
as
we
educate
our
residents
and
our
businesses,
you
have
to
make
sure
that
we
come
up
with
the
strategies
that
will
ensure
that
everyone
in
the
city
of
Boston
will
be
prepared
to
deal
with
the
impacts
of
climate
change.
We.
V
Are
focused
on
digital
equity
because
high-speed
Internet
access
is
essential
for
full
inclusion
in
our
economy.
In
the
last
year
we
have
supported
organizations
like
tech
goes
home
and
the
Boston
neighborhood
Network.
We
launched
the
digital
equity
fund
to
expand
this
work
and
we're
really
excited
to
be
part
of
the
youth
ly
the
change
participatory
budgeting
process
under
their
direction.
We
are
deploying
wicked
free
Wi-Fi
in
several
Boston
centers
for
youth
and
families.
We.
W
X
Are
focused
on
equity
and
public
works.
We
know
that
the
built
environment
too
often
reflects
and
perpetuates
racial
disparities.
We
have
to
be
intentional
about
changing
that.
For
example,
in
the
last
year
we
have
begun
changing
the
way
we
schedule
sidewalk
repairs.
The
system
was
driven
by
constituent
requests.
When
we
looked
at
that
more
closely,
we
saw
neighborhoods
with
more
resources,
we're
making
more
requests
and
getting
more
service.
Y
Z
AA
Office
was
launched
this
year
to
help
people
returning
to
Boston
after
incarceration.
This
is
an
equity
issue,
especially
for
communities
of
color,
we're
hoping
to
meet
that
collective
need
by
making
sure
individuals
get
a
real
second
chance,
a
real
second
chance
to
contribute
to
their
community.
What.
AB
We're
really
doing
is
giving
Bostonians
a
sense
of
ownership
in
our
city
and
helping
them
build
wealth
and
making
our
community
stronger.
Together.
Last
year,
we
launched
the
neighborhood
homes
initiative
using
250
city-owned
Lots,
to
build
affordable
homes
for
first-time
homebuyers.
In
this
year
we
increase
the
down
payment
and
closing
cost
pool
to
help
more
people,
buy
a
home
and
build
their
dreams.
We.
AC
Increase
equity
and
planning
by
making
sure
discussions
about
the
future
of
our
neighborhoods
are
accessible
for
everyone,
no
matter
race,
gender,
age
or
language.
The
past
year
we
have
been
listening
to
communities,
talk
about
their
history,
their
hopes
and
fears
and
their
questions
about
the
future.
Our
goal
is
to
grow
together
as
a
city
in
all
our
diversity.
One.
AD
Of
the
key
themes
of
imagine,
Boston
2030
is
a
focus
on
equity.
We
want
to
increase
access
to
opportunity
and
read
the
disparities
we
see
around
our
city.
To
do
that,
we
have
to
put
together
a
very
collaborative
process
that
includes
community
organizations,
are
all
of
our
community
members.
Your
voices
really
need
to
be
what
helps
us
implement
this
planet.
I
We
are
focused
on
equity,
because
persistent
racial
inequality
not
only
undermines
our
collective
ability
to
withstand
shocks.
It
is
by
itself
a
slow-moving
catastrophe
in
too
many
of
our
communities.
Our
response
must
be
a
healing
journey,
with
intentional
action
towards
a
more
equitable
and
more
resilient
Boston.
The.
C
Drive
equity
just
doesn't
live
in
my
office,
it's
in
every
department,
every
program,
every
service,
it's
in
the
data
we
track,
but
fundamentally
it's
in
the
people
and
relationships.
You
have
to
know
someone
to
know
what
they're
facing
so
it's
policies
and
practices
and
it's
hearts
and
minds
it
has
to
be
both
I
know.
We
have
a
long
way
to
go
as
a
country
and
as
a
city,
sometimes
with
all
that's
going
on.
C
It
feels
like
one
step
forward
and
two
steps
back,
but
we
have
committed
to
growing
in
our
equity
in
our
unity
as
a
city,
I,
Luther,
King
jr.,
said
it
and
President
Obama
quoted
and
many
times
the
arc
of
the
moral
universe
is
long,
but
it
bends
towards
justice.
And
it's
why
I
call
on
all
of
us
to
keep
this
dialogue
going
today
in
every
day.
E
E
Thank
you
and
before
we
before
we
get
into
the
conversation
and
remember
this
is
really
a
Q&A.
We
have
about
45
minutes
for
members
of
the
audience
to
ask
the
mayor
whatever
kind
of
question
you
have
on
your
mind,
relating
to
racism,
what
we
can
do,
what
the
city
is
doing,
what
he's
doing
to
the
face
this
really?
It
is
the
to
me
the
topic,
the
issue
of
our
time.
Now
we
obviously
are
hoping
to
engage
as
many
people
as
possible.
E
So
this
is
what
I
usually
tell
folks
when
I'm
go
to
do
an
interview
and
they
have
a
problem.
If
you
can't
explain
it
to
me
in
ten
minutes,
I
can't
put
it
into
a
minute
15.
So
this
is
AQ
&
a
question
and
answer.
So,
let's
refrain
from
speeches.
This
is
not
a
time
for
speeches.
This
is
a
time
for
questions
and
again
we're
talking
about
a
subject
that
goes
beyond
black
and
white.
That
goes
beyond
brown
and
white
these
days.
E
If
we're
talking
about
Muslims
coming
in
and
having
issues
Latinos
coming
here
and
having
issues,
this
is
about
a
persistent
problem,
but
it's
a
problem
that
the
city,
as
you
can
see,
is
addressing.
So
what
we're
gonna
have
is
eight
sure,
I
believe
in
the
audience,
and
when
you
have
a
question
you
will
raise
your
hand,
I've
read
it
in
classrooms,
teaches
up
the
hill
at
Mission,
Hill
and
the
usher
will
come
over
and
I
will
be.
Do
my
best
going,
maybe
left
to
right
right
to
left
to
get
as
many
people
as
possible.
E
Now
that
we
have
45
minutes,
I'm
gonna
keep
an
eye
on
the
clock.
Somebody
here
supposed
to
keep
me
a
track.
There
I've
got
it
in
front
I'll.
Give
you
an
idea
when
we
have
ten
minutes
left.
So
have
you
again?
You
want
to
ask
a
question:
stay
seated,
raise
your
hand
and
I'll
call
on
you,
so
I'm
sure
everybody
wants
to
get
going
I'm.
Mr.
mayor,
obviously
this
week
the
Boston
Globe
that
a
big
take
out
on
racism
in
the
city.
E
You
can
take
issues
with
many
of
specific
points
that
were
made,
but
I
think
that
the
picture
is
the
issue
of
perception
versus
reality.
I
personally,
I'm
gonna
ask
the
first
question
and
you
know,
if
you
don't
mind:
I've
worked
in
Boston
long
enough
to
know
that
I've
seen
from
my
experience
here
for
some
45
years,
the
worst
of
Boston
during
a
busing
and
then
maybe
the
best
of
Boston
after
the
Boston
Marathon.
E
When
we
all
came
together
again
the
issue
beyond
black
and
white,
the
administration
is
certainly
doing
a
lot
you're,
putting
your
money
where
your
mouth
is
about
diversifying
bringing
more
people
around
the
table
in
the
conversation
and
the
decision-making.
Yet
not
everybody
works
for
the
city
or
want
to
work
for
the
city,
really
still
it's
the
core,
the
private
sector,
that
you
know
that
that
is
the
big
player
in
this
conversation.
Is
there
an
unwillingness
or
inability
to
change?
Is
it
a
fact
that
they
sometimes
say
you
know?
We
can't
find
the
talent,
I,
think.
C
It's
a
bit
of
everything,
I
think
it
really
depends
on
the
individual
leaders
and
companies
and
in
society
I
think
it.
You
know
with
a
globe
what
the
globe
story
did
this
week,
whether
people
liked
it
or
didn't
like
it,
it
sparked
conversation
and
that
conversation
is
important
to
have
to
really
get
to.
How
do
we
move
forward
now?
C
But
we
talked
about
what
we
were
going
to
do.
We're
going
to
have
dialogues
a
little
gonna,
make
it
at
the
forefront.
So,
as
you
talked
about
housing,
you
talked
about
economic
development.
You
talked
about
education
and
talking
about
all
those
things
we
took,
we
said
race
is
gonna,
be
a
piece
of
that
and
then,
as
we
start
to
look
at
it,
more
race
is
actually
tied
into
everything
else.
We
talked
about
so
I
think
when
you,
when
you
talk
about
equity
and
you
talk
about
interest,
I
mean
we
have
talents
and
boss.
C
There's
no
question
I'm.
Looking
at
this
audience
now
we
have
a
ton
of
young
people
of
color
in
this
audience
that
have
a
ton
of
talent.
So
that's
not
the
issue.
I
think
the
issue
is,
is
it's
not
understanding
that
that
we
still
have
a
lot
of
problems
that
we
have
to
deal
with
as
a
society,
not
just
in
Boston
by
the
United
States
of
America?
This
is
the
United
States
issue,
but
I
can't
we
can't
figure
50
united
states.
We
have
to
bring
this
conversation.
C
I
think
we
can't
be
afraid
to
have
the
conversation
about
race
and
racism,
and
then
we
have
to.
We
have
to
not
be
afraid
to
say
and
acknowledge
the
fact
that
we
have
racism
in
our
city
and
that
we
have
racist
acts
in
our
city
and
that
we
have
to
confront
those.
We
can't
be
afraid
to
say
that,
because
you
can't
get
better,
if
you
don't
acknowledge
the
fact
that
there's
a
problem,
okay,.
E
AE
Hi
I'm
Stanley
Pollock
on
the
director
of
the
Center
for
teen,
empowerment
and
I
was
real
pleased
to
see
a
couple
of
our
young
people
from
last
year's
speaking
and
my
question
is
how
what
specific
steps
are
you
going
to
take
to
use
the
resource
of
teenagers
not
only
in
terms
of
receiving
services
but
in
positions
of
leadership,
particularly
around
the
issue
of
race?
They
are
both
the
president
in
the
future
and
I
think
they
can
play
a
very
powerful
role
and
a
lot
of
the
dysfunctional
things
that
take
place
take
place
in
that
age.
C
Thank
you
for
the
conversation,
I
mean
the
question
and
Stan
we've
worked
together
on
a
bunch
of
things
and
I
think
you
know
that
that
we
I'm
committed
and
the
administration
is
going
to
be
committed
to
making
sure
that
the
young
people
have
conversations
the
next
step
after
today,
not
next
step,
but
we're
planning
on
is
how
the
racial
dialogues
around
the
city
of
Boston
and
we've
been
working
with
facilitators
and
the
conversations
needs
to
include
young
people
in
these
conversations
and
I.
Think
I.
C
C
C
Thank
you
for
being
here,
but
we
should
be
able
to
fill
five
of
these
auditoriums
to
check
on
this
conversation,
and
people
need
to
be
proud
of
these
conversations,
because
you
can't
just
sit
home
and
say
you
know
and
and
tweet
out
or
make
your
feelings
be
heard.
Come
to
these
conversations,
because
these
are
important
dialogues.
They
have
young
people
need
to
be
at
the
core
of
that.
I.
Don't
have
a
specific
issue.
C
I
won't
specifically
it
out,
but
everything
that
we
do,
whether
it's
a
Youth
Council
demands:
Youth,
Council,
teen,
empowerment,
where
you
have
the
police
community
dialogues,
the
police.
Have
the
firefighters
started:
dialogues
with
their
young
people,
the
firefighters
class
same
thing
about
about
understanding
of
what's
happening:
the
fire
department.
We
have
these
conversations
going
on
in
many
of
our
schools.
There
are
some
principles
here
today:
they're
having
dialogues
in
their
schools.
What
happened
at
Latin
School
last
year,
two
years
ago
there
was
a
tremendous
dialogue
around
that
around
that
what
happened
there?
C
C
E
D
C
You
for
the
question,
although
I
know
I
appreciate
that
question.
This
isn't
the
exact
form
for
that,
but
we'll
talk
about
it.
There's
no
balancing
on
the
backs
of
four-year-olds
I
think
if,
if
you
had
a
chance
to
go
and
look
at
what
we're
doing
actually
in
a
lot
of
neighborhoods
we're
moving
we're
allowing
start
times
to
be
changed,
so
we
get
high
school
kids
starting
later,
which
studies
show
that
they
work
and
we've
shifted
around
because
we
can't
have
the
cost
is
out
of
control.
C
We're
actually
gonna
save
money
in
this
in
this
move
that
we're
proposing
and
the
money
that
we're
gonna
have
is
gonna,
be
reinvested
back
in
the
school
can
be
reinvested
back
in
the
school
so
that
so
that
we
can
look
in
schools
to
make
sure
that
we
have
proper
nurses
and
proper
counseling
and
proper
services
for
our
young
people.
That's
what
this
is
all
about.
This
is
not
about.
This
is
not
about
for
you.
Everyone
talks
about
foals,
it's
not
about
the
four
year
olds
and
it's
not
about
inconvenience
and
parents.
C
It's
about
it's
about
making
sure
we
have
better
equity
in
our
schools
and
I
think
that
families
in
Roxbury
gorge
to
Mattapan
for
years
have
not.
They
have
not
gotten
the
attention.
The
schools
have
not
gotten
the
attention
that
they
deserve,
and
what
we
want
to
do
finally
is
make
the
make
the
adjustments
those
schools
get
looked
at,
so
we
have
the
same
type
of
school
across
the
city
of
Boston,
more
level,
one
and
level
two
schools,
that's
the
goal
here.
Thank.
E
You
once
again
unfiltered
questions.
You
know
it's
an
unbelievable
opportunity,
mr.
mayor,
and
we
really
appreciate
it.
I
saw
this
young
man
up
here
when
the
blue,
you
had
a
question
and
before
he
asked
before
he
asks.
Let
me
just
look
raised
hands
now.
People
have
questions,
so
I
could
have
an
idea
where
to
go.
Okay.
Thank
you.
Hi.
A
Back
in
back
in
May
with
the
Adam
Jones,
you
said
the
words
in
response
to
it.
You
said
this
is
not
who
we
are
as
a
city
and
I
think
this
is
really.
These
are
really
good
intentioned
words,
but
the
impact
of
it
is
very
dismissive.
I
think
the
word
should
be
she
bets.
That's
your
opinion.
Okay,
that's
fair!
It
is.
A
It
is
my
opinion,
but
I
saw
it
as
up
there
with
dismissive
words
such
as
I,
don't
see
color
and
you
know
I
I,
don't
I'm,
not
I,
think
the
word
should
be
in
there
under
here
as
a
I'm,
a
photographer
I've
been
I
work
across
many
industries
and
I'm.
Here
to
say,
racism
is
an
issue
of
space
and
it's
an
issue
of
racism
and
sexism
are
still
prominent
in
every
single
industry
in
Boston.
Thank.
C
You
let
me
take
that
as
a
question
just
for
MINIX
I
want
I
want
to
adjust
what
you
say
in
2013,
as
I
mentioned,
we
I
was
in
a
forum
that
people
talk
to
me
a
woman,
particularly
a
black
woman,
talk
to
me
about
questioning
on
racism
and
the
answer
I
gave
wasn't
what
I
was
happy
with,
certainly
what
she
wasn't
happy
with
it.
It
made
me,
go
back
and
look
at
situations
on
how
we
better
talk
about
race,
but
actually
dive
in,
and
work
on,
race
and
racism.
C
Ferguson
happens,
but
under
my
meaning,
when
I
became
mayor
of
Ferguson
happened,
we
had
other
incidents
before
that
with
police
involved
shootings,
but
I
wasn't
the
man
Baltimore
happened.
New
York
happened
all
across
the
United
States
of
America.
We
had
different
types
of
shootings
and
some
of
my
responses
that
were
well
intentioned
and
was
they
responded.
Some
people
in
my
administration,
particularly
men
of
color
in
my
administration,
weren't,
afraid
to
come
to
me
and
said
you
handle
that
wrong
and
what
you
said.
The
words
you
use
were
in
it
weren't
exactly
right.
C
So
what
what
I
did
in
response
to
that
is
I
brought
I
asked
a
lot
of
folks
and
someone
here
today
on
of
Conan
Sierra,
Conan
Harrison
and
will
Morales
and
few
other
folks
in
I
asked
them
to
come
in
and
we
sat
down
and
talked
about
being
a
person
of
color,
a
man
of
color
and
the
challenges
that
they
had
growing
up.
John
Barnes
was
part
of
that
conversation
and
it's
about
learning
and
evolving
and
admitting
that
you
made
a
mistake
and
it's
about
as
a
person.
C
You
know
I
you've
used
the
word
should've,
maybe
I
don't
know,
but
the
point
is:
is
that
the
conversate
that
the
dialogues
are
about
an
understanding
so
that,
when
somebody
responds
to
a
question
or
a
quote
or
a
comments
that
you're
sensitive
to
the
feelings
of
that
person
in
that
individual?
You
know
this
this
conversation
here
today,
you
can
ask
Evan,
can
ask
me
all
the
questions
they
want
about
my
specific
incidents
or,
if
I
you
know
start
times
or
what
have
you.
But
what
we're
talking
about
is
having
a
dialogue.
C
This
isn't
about
Mari
Walters
opinion
on
stuff.
This
is
about
having
the
city
have
a
dialogue
on
race
and
racism
and
finally
addressing
the
issue
of
race
and
racism,
and
it's
not
about
my
own
personal
feelings
on
it.
This
conversation
should
be
happening
regardless
who's
up
here,
Linda
for
ease
here.
If
Linda's
up
here
the
conversation
isn't
the
fact
that
Linda's,
a
Haitian
woman,
the
the
conversations
about
race
if
Russell
Holmes
was
a
Suzie,
has
state
representative
he's
sitting
in
this
chair.
C
It's
not
the
fact
that
he's
african-american
that
he's
in
this
chair,
it's
the
fact
that
we
having
a
conversation
on
race,
any
flynn's
in
the
back
I,
see
him
a
new
state
city
councilor.
If
Eddie
Flint
see
that's
what
these
dialogues
are
about.
So
for
me
it's
about
learning,
I'm,
not
perfect,
and
there's
no
one
in
this
auditorium.
That's
perfect!
C
AF
Just
saw
oh
yeah
hello
good
morning
and
thank
you
so
much
for
this
dialogue
and
thank
you,
mayor
Walsh,
for
your
continued
leadership
and
commitment
around
this
very,
very
difficult
subject.
My
name
is
Sarah
ting
I
have
lived
my
entire
adult
life
here
in
Boston,
I
am
the
founder
of
world.
You
know
Inc
and
my
question
to
you
is
this:
as
we've
all
acknowledged,
we
have
to
include
the
young
people,
yes,
and
we
all
know
that
prejudice
and
bias
is
not
born
in
anybody.
It's
all
learned
behavior.
AF
My
question
is:
we
have
a
beautiful
song
that
was
performed
at
the
United
Nations
by
children.
It's
called.
We
all
see
the
stars.
We
have
a
campaign
right
now
called
singing
equality
across
America
with
the
mayor's
office.
Consider
having
the
song
be
taught
to
all
the
children
in
Boston,
because
it's
being
taught,
we
actually
have
the
video
of
four
hundred
and
twenty
nine
children
singing
the
song
and
they're
even
doing
it
in
sign
language.
So
that's
my
question
to
you,
mayor
Walsh.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time
in
your
consideration.
C
AG
My
name
is
Taylor
Keith
and
I'm
just
curious.
If
we're
talking
about
racism,
why
are
we
not
talking
about
in
the
communities
where
its
most
present?
Why
aren't
we
in
the
communities
that
are
struggling,
I
understand
people
can
come
here,
but
you
mentioned
being
sensitive.
So
if
we
know
that
younger
people
aren't
as
informed,
why
are
not
we?
Why
are
we
not
being
sensitive
to
the
fact
that
they're,
not
as
informed
and
going
to
them
where
the
problem
is
actually
happening.
C
C
Know
I
get
that
I
get
that
I,
don't
think
necessarily
the
conversations
on
racism
have
to
happen
in
deadly
I
think
the
conversation
racism
happened
happened
in
other
neighborhoods
in
the
city
of
Boston.
When
you
look
at
what
we
talked
about
in
the
video
of
you.
If
you
had
talked
about
what
was
in
the
written
in
the
globe,
opportunities
missed
that
boards
of
corporations
in
Boston
and
Massachusetts
and
America
are
predominantly
white
people.
People
that
are
working
in
high-end
jobs
are
predominantly
white.
I
think
the
conversations
on
race
has
to
be
understood
across
the
board.
C
This
young
man
brought
up
a
point
of
of
my
comments
on
Adam,
Jones
and,
and
then
I
talked
to
you
about
something.
I
learned
I
think
racism
has
to
be
and
I
think
all
all
people
have
to
understand
what
racism
is
I,
don't
think
people
understand,
I,
think
most
black
people
and
most
people
color
in
Boston.
C
But
when
I
say
most,
maybe
you
all
I,
don't
speak
for
all
understand
what
racism
is,
but
I,
don't
think
other
people
outside
of
that
understand
what
racism
is
and
the
conversation
on
race
has
to
be
outside
of
outside
of
black
and
people
of
color.
You
can't
have
it
just
that
doesn't
solve
an
issue
that
doesn't
allow
people
to
have
the
dialogue
and
I.
Think
that
that's
that's
what
is
important.
C
Stan
Lee
talked
about
young
people,
I
think
it's
important
for
young
black
men
and
young
black
girls
to
talk
to
people
white
people
and
explain
what
it
what
it
means
to
grow
up
as
a
young
black
man,
a
young
black
girl
in
in
an
urban
and
urban
City,
and
what
they
have
with
the
challenges
they
might
have
compared
to
the
young
white
people
that
are
in
your
program.
It's
a
completely
different,
so
I
think
that's
why
this
isn't
about
you
want
me
over
the
roxbury.
C
Well,
have
we
can
have
a
thousand
people,
it's
about
the
dialogue,
it's
a
dialogue,
that's
what
this
is
about.
It's
about
a
dialogue
so
and
I
can
feel
that
I
can
just
feel
the
questions
as
they're
coming
they're
coming
a
little
bit
a
little
a
little
bit
of
it
seems
like
an
edge
to
them.
This
is
about
a
dialogue.
C
This
is
about
about
taking
this
edge,
that
I
have,
and
then
we
all
have
in
this
room
and
taking
it
out
across
the
city
of
Boston
and
having
the
courage
to
have
the
dialogue
and
conversation
in
the
corner
store
weather,
whether
it's
it,
whether
it's
whatever
part
of
the
city,
sing,
whether
to
make
a
plane
or
Roslindale
or
West
Roxbury
itself,
Boston
and
Shawn
sound.
That's
what
we
have
to
do
take
take
this
edge
out
there
a
little
bit
and
talk
about.
Let's
get
people
in
the
conversation.
Okay,.
AG
C
No,
this
is,
this
is
a
second
conversation.
What
happens
now
and
dr.
Martin's
going
to
talk
about
it
later
on
we
break
out
the
sessions.
We
have
said
I
think
the
facilitators
are
here
today,
so
the
facilitators
are
going
to
begin
now.
The
dialogues
in
the
neighborhoods
of
Boston,
so
it's
not
going
to
be
you
don't
can
have
a
thousand
people.
Some
of
these
conversations
might
be,
twenty
people
might
be
dirty,
people
could
be
fifty
people
could
be
three
people,
and
that's
what's
gonna
happen
now
after
today,
taking
these
conversations
into
the
communities
so.
AG
C
E
AH
Hi,
my
name
is
Arianna
constant,
packing
in
patan
and
I
work
for
teen
empowerment.
My
question
is:
why
do
you
believe
that
youth
and
the
whole
boss
of
community
majority
of
the
United
States
seems
to
not
really
care
about
the
issues
on
racism
and
not
to
really
address
it
like
because
a
lot
of
youth
from
teen
family
are
here
today?
But
why
do
you
think
a
lot
of
youth
outside
of
organizations
like
this?
Don't
care
and
aren't
really
I.
C
Don't
think
that
I
don't
think
that
at
all
I
think
that
it's
important,
that
young
people
are
part
of
a
dialogue
and
a
conversation
and
I,
don't
believe
that
they
shouldn't
be
part
of
I,
don't
believe
they
don't
want
to
be
part
of
it.
I
think
that
I
can't
control
what
happens
in
outside
of
Boston.
What
I
mean
by
that
is
in
conversations
I.
Think
young
people
need
to
be
part
of
those
dialogues.
Teen
apartments
been
part
of
these
dialogues.
C
C
Have
to
have
people
used
to
say
at
the
coffee
part
of
the
bubbler,
the
water
water
bubbler,
the
the
office
talk
we
need
to
have
those
folks
have
the
conversation.
You
know
I'm
gonna
say
something
right
now.
It's
probably
gonna
get
me
in
a
little
heat
with
some
people,
but
the
dialogue,
and
quite
honestly,
many
people
have
shown
evening
that
to
be
part
of
the
dialogue,
it's
the
people
around.
Here
we
have
to
get
part
of
the
dialogue.
C
I
mean
it's
that
it's
that
it's
the
you
know
what
we
talked
about
in
the
video
we
talked
about
equity
everything
will
do
inequity,
whether
it's
economic
development,
whether
it's
contracts
for
people,
whether
it's
education,
whether
it's
water
and
sewer
whatever
it
is.
We
talk
about
equity.
That's
seeing
dialogues
not
happening
in
corporate
America
that
same
conversation,
equity
is
not
happening.
They
might
have
a
chief
diversity
officer
in
corporate
America
in
their
company,
but
it's
not
getting
it's
not
getting
enough
we're
not.
C
We
don't
have
enough
pathways
in
from
the
private
sector
in
front
front
from
everyone
else
to
help
us
get
young
people
into
programs
into
college
and
moving
forward
and
gone
career
paths.
Those
are
things
that
are
gonna,
make
a
change,
and
you
know
the
the
wealth
gap
that
we
talk
about,
that
wealth
gap
is
a
real
number,
and
how
do
you
deal
with
in
some
of
some
of
the
racism
that
we
see
out?
C
There
is
because
people
perceive
somebody
who's
hanging
on
the
corner,
as
is
not
being
part
of
a
society
and
as
there's
an
assumption
made
there,
we
have
to
change
that.
That's
what
this
is
all
about.
That's
what
these
conversations
really
have
to
lead
us
to
and
I
think
that
it's
important
and
I
appreciate
the
woman
down
the
back.
C
Who
talked
about
widened
these
dialogues
in
Roxbury,
Amanda,
Pia,

I
mean
they
will
be
in
Dorchester
Roxbury
Mattapan,
but
but
when,
when
will
Morales,
who
told
me
the
story
about
a
son
and
the
dashboard
and
in
the
license,
I
didn't
even
think
of
that
I
didn't
think
of
the
fact
when,
if
I
got
pulled
over
that,
my
first
thought
was
to
port
my
license
on
the
dashboard
hands
on
the
wheel,
I.
Never
that
and
a
lot
of
people
aren't
thinking
of
that.
AI
Morning,
mayor,
thank
you
for
coming
and
we
certainly
applaud
the
Boston
Globe
in
doing
the
series
on
race.
You
don't
have
to
tell
us
about
about
racism
in
the
african-american
community.
We
understand
all
that
it's
ugly
tentacles
and
how
it
affects
every
aspect
in
our
life.
You
talk
about
the
edginess.
Well,
the
edginess
is
gonna,
come
because
it's
a
visible
experience,
amen.
There
are
biases
and
prejudices
that
we
all
have
and
that's
got
to
be
broken
down
so
that
we
can
talk
one
another.
You
see
this
income.
AI
Inequality
leads
to
this
social
segregation
and
back
in
the
day
when
blue-collar
families
and
white-collar
families
live
together,
they
saw
each
other
in
a
hardware
store.
They
saw
each
other
sitting
down
in
the
pews.
So
how
can
you
empathize
with
people
that
are
dealing
with
violence
and
and
mental
illness
and
all
the
different
atrocities
that
we
face
in
african-american
community?
AI
E
C
Of
all,
thank
you,
for
you
said
because
of
you
hit
the
nail
on
the
head
hit
the
nail
on
the
head
as
far
as
far
as
far
as
some
of
the
points
we
want
to
make
it
today.
This
supports
a
whole
different
situation.
I
mean
I'm,
not
a
lot
of
the
development,
all
that
most
of
the
almond
down
this
private
and-
and
there
was
no
real
effort-
made
to
make
sure
that
part
of
the
development
team
they
were
developers
of
color.
C
There
was
money
made
down
there
in
the
construction
site,
but
there
was
no
money
made
in
the
development
itself
and
I
think
that
you
know
what
was
tried
to
do
in
the
city
and
the
state.
Quite
honestly,
did
it
over
and
Massport
was
a
new
hotel
that
they're
putting
forward
the
Omni
Hotel.
There's
part
of
that
development
team
is
a
person
of
color
there's
actually
three
or
four
people
of
color
different
development
teams
on
the
waterfront.
C
E
Can
you
kind
of
influence
on
a
private
developer
who's
putting
up
you
know
other
than
we
can
ask
partnership
for
a
low-income
housing
other
than
that?
Can
you
say
you
know
what
you're
gonna
put
up
this
fabulous
you're
gonna
get
some
kind
of
tax
break.
Can't
you
have
some
diversity
in
the
people
planning
the
designing.
You
know
from
the
mailroom
to
the.
C
Unfortunately,
some
ways
we
can't
because
you're
talking
about
private
development
I
mean
we
can
suggest
it,
but
we
can't
stop
it.
What
we
can
do
is
now
we
we've
changed.
I've
brought
some
jobs
policy,
so
we
can
force
more
participation
on
the
construction
site.
We've
changed
our
numbers
to
51%
Boston
residents,
40%
people
of
color
12%
women
prior
to
we
changing
that
it
was
50,
25
and
10.
So
we
can
push
on
that
level.
C
E
C
AJ
Thanks
for
doing
this,
I'm
Claire
Barker
from
Jamaica
Plain,
this
is
a
question
about
policing
equity.
We
all
are
proud
to
be
a
sanctuary
city
based
on
the
thought
that
you
need
to
have
a
dialogue
between
immigrants
and
the
police.
You
don't
want
a
hostile
relationship,
but
we
also
know
from
the
ACLU
and
I'm
sure
every
person
of
color
in
this
room
knows
about
the
over-policing
in
minority
neighborhoods,
so
I
also.
AJ
C
Well,
that's
a
that's
a
that's!
A
pretty
load
of
question
just
gave
me,
so
let
me
try
and
decipher
it
I
think
that
we've
gone
beyond
the
beyond
the
conversations
now
in
the
policing
community
and
we
continue
to
have
the
dialogues.
I
think
you
always
have
to
of
dialogues
with
the
police.
You
can
never
stop
that
because
it's
always
did
the
relationships
always
changing.
Just
like
the
police
job
is
always
changing.
You
know,
40
years
ago
they
were
chasing
bad
guys
and
arresting
people,
and-
and
today
it's
it's
gone
completely
different.
C
So
I
think
that
that's
important
I
think
the
dialogue
with
with
the
immigrant
community,
our
Police
Commission,
has
been
very
clear
that
he,
it
does
never
intends
to
do
Isis
job
for
them
and
going
out
and
bringing
people
in
that
are
undocumented
in
our
city
and
doing
what
they
doing.
What
they're
supposed
to
be
doing
so
we're
gonna
continue
to
work
on
that
stuff.
We
change
the
co-op
board.
We
expanded
the
co-op
board
to
five
members.
This
is
the
civilian
review
board
that
we
have
in
Boston
and
we
also
increase
their
caseload
to
20
cases.
C
20%
of
all
cases,
we've
seen
a
steady
decline
in
in
police,
excessive
force
by
police
officers
over
the
last
since
since
Commissioner
Evans
has
taken
over
and
since
I've
become
the
mayor,
we've
seen
that
numbered
nearly
dropped,
50
percent
and
we
want
to
continue
to
see
that
number
dropped.
50%
the
body
camera
program
North
ironically
we're
at
Northeastern,
University
they're,
doing
the
study,
we're
gonna.
The
first
draft
of
a
study
coming
out
the
next
guy
I
think
next
week
or
so,
and
we're
gonna
be
looking
at
that
and
we're
gonna
make
decisions
on
that.
C
The
jury's
out
around
the
country
on
body
cameras
there's
been
studies.
The
New
York
Times
did
a
report
a
few
months
ago
saying
that
the
body
cameras
have
made
very
little
impact
in
in
the
relationship
and
in
the
crime
in
their
city.
So
we're
gonna.
Looking
at
the
Apple
we're
gonna
make
those
determinations
as
we
move
forward.
It's
a
constant,
a
constant
move
forward.
Last
thing:
you
bring
up
an
interesting
point
with
the
over
policing
in
communities
of
color
I.
C
Think
that
I
don't
hear
that
that
often
and
it
there's
a
mix
there.
When
I
talk
to
older
people
of
color
a
lot
of
times,
when
you
talk
to
them,
they
want
to
make
sure
there's
police
presence
in
their
community
and
I,
don't
think
there's
an
over
policing
I
would
actually
not
rather
have
a
place
to
other
things
and
having
to
be
in
communities
and
I.
Think
that
that's
the
mean
the
last
thing
we
want
to
do
is
over
police
in
a
particular
neighborhood,
because
we
need
to
do
that.
Other
neighborhoods
complain
about
it.
C
Other
neighbors
do
what
about
us
come
on.
It
was
I,
live
in
c11,
okay,
that's
the
district
boat
Geneva's
in
that
area
and
and
in
Cedar
Grove
is
in
that
area
in
Lowell
mills,
the
people
of
Lowell
Melser
in
in
not
people
on
those
that
people
see
the
Grove
in
the
ponds
will
say:
we
want
more
police
presence
driving
around
the
streets,
but
oftentimes
you
will
see
them
will
have
more
police
walking,
beats
in
bone
Geneva
because
people's
there
say
we
want
more
presence
there,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
people
feel
safe
there.
C
AL
The
Cabot's
police,
parent
and
personal
office
in
equality,
Employment

I'm,
traumatized
at
I
hired
a
Massachusetts
New
England

who
graduated
here
in
the
northeastern
university
and
we
speak
up

in
the
Middlesex

and
they
simply.
This
means.

AL
C
AL
C
If
anyone
feels
please
reach
out
to
these
folks
today,
and
we
will
help
you
with
with
what,
if
you
have
an
immigrant
issue,
our
office,
a
new
immigrant
advancement
is
working
to
make
sure
that
people
know
their
rights
here
in
this
in
this
in
this
city.
So
Alejandro's
here
so
did
you
have
a
particular
question
or
concern,
and
you
don't
know
who
to
talk
to
just
grab
one
of
the
folks
that
work
for
the
city
hits
it.
Okay,
just
a
side.
Note:
that's
real
life
right
there.
Folks.
AN
Okay,
hello,
so
my
name
is
Breanna
and
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here
today
and
my
question
really
revolves
around
people
like
myself,
so
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Dorchester
I
still
live
in
Dorchester
and
I'm
a
proud
graduate
of
bps
I
went
to
school.
You
know
through
bps
all
the
way
up
till
12th
grade
with
black
and
brown
kids.
E
C
Thank
you.
My
answer
to
you
is
I
to
work
with
you
and
you
help
me
and
you
help
me
explain
it
help
to
people
what
I
mean
by
that
is
be
more
engaged
in
the
conversation,
explain
to
me
the
situations
that
are
happening
explain
to
me
and
how
do
we
use
our
office?
How
do
we
use
City,
Hall
18,000
employees
to
be
able
to
go
out
in
the
community
and
what
people
are
experienced
in
City
Hall
make
sure
they
get
to
experience
that
in
the
private
sector
as
well?
C
How
do
we
keep
young
black
talents
and
young
people
of
college
talent
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
don't
lose
them?
Some?
Some
of
when
you
look
at
the
numbers
of
the
different
companies
and
what's
happening
is,
is
that
people
are
losing
talent
now
we're
making
when
I
say
we,
the
City
of
Boston,
is
making
a
concerted
effort
to
keep
young
talent
and
talent.
Here
in
the
city.
C
On
the
city
side,
we
are
losing
that
with
losing
young
people
to
other
cities,
I
here
in
New,
York
and
Chicago
and
Atlanta
all
day
long
people
talk
about
going
because
it's
more
friendly
or
more
open.
We
got
to
change
that
with
that
dynamic
and
we
got
to
change
that
reality
to
make
people
want
to
stay
here.
So
my
answer
to
is:
how
do
you
do
that
you
get
involved
and
you
get
involved
with
not
not
politically
involved
get
involved
with
a
group.
We
have
spark
Boston
that
we
talk
about.
C
How
do
we
reach
out
to
Millennials?
Maybe
we
sat
a
group
of
young
people
of
color
professionals
out
of
the
city,
City
Hall
not
not
connected
to
the
City
Hall
per
se,
but
how
do
we
reach
out
in
the
community?
You
have
Megan
Costello
here
from
women's
advancement
who
reached
out
constantly.
How
do
we
train
women
to
negotiate
better
salaries
and
higher
salaries
themselves?
Because
what
happens
is
they
leave?
They
leave
town
because
other
places
are
more
open
to
pay
more.
So
there's
a
lot
you
can
do
so
before
you
leave
here
today.
C
I
want
you
to
somebody's
gonna,
get
you
before
you
leave
in
your
friends
and
just
be
engaged
and
explain
to
me
what
it
is.
We
need
to
do.
Cuz,
that's
never
happened
before
I.
Don't
think
anybody
elected
officials
stand
on
the
stage
and
said
well
I
want
you
to
explain
to
me
what
I
can
do
better
again,
it's
about
learning,
because
I
learn
every
day.
So
how
do
you?
How
do
I
do
it
to
do
it
better.
AN
AO
C
He
came
in
Boston
a
few
weeks
later
for
a
comedy,
show
we
weren't
able
to
hook
up
I'll.
Take
you
back.
One
of
my
favorite
actors
of
all
time
is
Denzel,
Washington
and
and
Denzel
made.
It
made
a
statement
that
in
the
80s
or
early
90s
he
had
a
very
bad
incident
in
Boston
that
kind
of
affected
him
and
I've
reached
out
to
Denzel
during
movies.
He
doesn't
meet
with
anybody.
C
You
just
focus
on
movies,
so
those
are
conversations
I'd
like
to
find
out
like
exactly
what
they
experience
and
how
do
we
continue
to
change
that
perception
in
the
reality?
It's
not
perception
is
reality
and
I.
Think
that
that's
the
important
piece
here
is
when
I
hear
that
stuff.
It's
sad.
It
said
you
know
the
conversations
that
we're
having
on
race.
C
The
story
that
I
think
what
the
globe
story
missed
was
that
from
right
before
the
civil
rights
movement,
and
so
let's
say
the
80s,
there
was,
if
you
look
at
the.
If
you
look
at
data,
you
could
see
real
some,
not
real
positive
change,
but
some
change
in
Boston,
and
you
know
more
people
going
to
college
more
people
working
in
society,
more
people
were
going
to
doing
going
to
school
and
we
had
we
had.
We
actually
had
a
middle
class,
a
bigger
middle
class
for
communities
of
call
them
we
do
today.
C
The
story
is
what
happened
from
the
80s
to
now.
Why
that
growth
hasn't
happened,
every
other
area
has
grown.
Every
other
sector
has
moved
up,
except
for
people
color.
The
numbers
of
Education
still
similar.
The
numbers
on
boards
are
still
similar,
so
we
had
so
much
a
tremendous
gain
and
momentum,
obviously
after
civil
rights,
because
you
had
a
lot
going
on
then
and
then
and
then
in
the
eighties.
C
It
just
kind
of
it
just
stopped
so
I
think
that
that's
what
when
we
talked
when
the
video,
the
video
you
saw
today,
every
single
person
that
video
works
for
the
city
now,
that
speech
was
supposed
to
be
me,
giving
the
speech
to
you
this
morning
and
what
I
said
was:
let's
do
it
something
different
because
every
aspect
of
our
city,
we
talked
about
equity.
We
talked
about
race.
We
talked
about
opportunity,
regardless
of
what
we
do,
and
you
know
what
we
want
to
do
is
get
some
some
of
the
private
sector.
C
Having
that
conversation
internally
to
talk
about
what
equity
and
races
talk
about,
how
do
you
get
young
women
and
men
of
color
who
went
to
college
whether
they're
from
Boston
with
high
school
boss,
and
they
might
want
to
call
it
somewhere
else
or
you
know
what
to
call
it
wasn't?
How
do
we
keep
you
here?
How
do
we
keep?
Those
are
the
dialogue
that
has
to
happen
and
that's
the
intention
of
the
dialogue
and
the
dialogue
get
people's
all
you
just
gotta
talk.
C
No,
it's
not
just
about
talking
it's
about
understanding
what
the
situation
is
in
so
to
your
question
as
yet
hurts.
It
hurts
bad
because,
because
I
love
this
city
and
I
love
the
people
in
the
city
and
I
love,
the
diversity
of
our
city,
Boston
Massachusetts
in
the
last
four
years,
has
grown
tremendously.
Twenty
eight
percent
of
our
residents
come
from
another
another
country,
forty-eight
percent
of
first-generation.
We
have
50
people,
50
percent
of
our
residents
of
people
of
color,
and
you
know:
they're
the
18
percent
black
and
20
percent
Latino
and
Asian.

which
I
you
know
to
me:
Boston
has
trouble,
partly
because
it's
very
hard
to
make
Boston
a
village,
it's
gigantic,
and
so
you
know,
Hyde
Park
is
so
far
away
from
Charlestown.
So
far,
all
the
towns
are
very
far
apart
from
each
other
and
what
can
we
keep
doing
and
the
wonderful
efforts
being
made
I'm
very
excited
to
see
in
black
communities,
white
communities,
everything
happening
and
that
mayor
everybody
working
hard
at
the
same
time,
it's
all
through
an
institutional
focus
and
bringing
back
black
people
to
white
neighborhoods.
AP
AP
C
Mentioned
you
mentioned
having
black
people
come
to
white
communities
of
conversation,
I'm,
not
sure
exactly
what
that
means,
because
we
haven't
done
that
here
and
I.
Think
again,
as
I
said
earlier
in
the
conversation,
it's
about
having
people
understanding
getting
to
the
understanding
what
race
and
racism
is
I.
Think
if.
AP
C
Think,
if
you
did,
if
you
did
a
poll
in
Massachusetts
or
Boston,
does
anyone
understand
what
racism
is?
It
means
people
would
say
yes,
I
do
if
you
ask
them
to
explain
it
and
they
couldn't
so
so
this
dialogue,
these
conversations
and
what
we're
doing
is
about
understanding
what
what
it
is
not
just
a
word
in
the
meaning
of
a
word,
but
how
it
affects
the
people
who
live
in
our
city
got.
E
D
AM
AM
You
you
know,
there's
more
to
be
done.
My
question
is
in
regards
to
the
globe
mentioned
one
of
the
places
that
I
work
for
now
I
work
here
at
Northeastern
as
a
faculty
member
I
worked
at
Dana,
Farber
Cancer
Institute
for
eight
years,
and
you
talked
about
places
where
the
leadership
is
all
white
and
in
the
private
sector
and
they
are
considered
tax-exempt
and
what
I
saw
in
my
eight
years
in
a
human
resources
department,
there
were
many
many
people
who
had
been
worked.
There.
AM
People
were
color
four,
nine
ten
years
safely,
single
moms
of
color
that
they
could
not
move
up
because
they
didn't
have
a
bachelor's
degree
when
we
are
surrounded
by
institutions
such
as
northeastern
Siemens.
All
these
colleges
around
the
hospital
at
dana-farber.
What
can
we
do
to
make
these
institutions
bring
opportunities
to
these
moms
of
color?
Who
need
to
complete
their
studies
so
that
they
can
move
up
fix.
C
C
I
mean
it
happened
long
before
this
series
of
last
week,
so
I
think
that
we
have
to
I
think
the
fact
that
you
have
to
acknowledge
is
a
problem.
I
think
a
lot
of
these
institutions
and
in
workplaces,
including
the
city
in
the
state,
need
to
acknowledge
as
a
problem,
and
if
you
acknowledge,
there's
a
problem,
then
you
can
deal
with
the
problem
and
I
think
that
that
is
part
of
any
type
of
recovery
and
I
think
racism.
C
If
anyone
who's
in
recovery
in
the
room,
racism
I
can
equate
it
to
you
understand,
you
have
an
issue
and
you
have
to
deal
with
the
issue
address
the
issue
and,
while
you're
addressing
the
issue,
you
address
the
issue
currently
in
front
of
you,
but
you
also
have
to
deal
with
the
past,
because
the
wreckage
of
the
past
has
damages
for
the
future,
and
that's
really
what
we
have
to
think
about.
How
do
we
do
that?
Mr.
E
AQ
Want
to
say
thank
you
for
having
this,
because
it's
really
important.
It's
crucial
really
for
us
all
to
be
talking
about
this
issue.
I
think
what
I
haven't
heard
is
that
racism
is
at
four
different
levels
at
the
value
level:
institutional
level,
where
you
can
make
the
biggest
impact
interpersonal,
which
I
keep
hearing
people
talking
about
the
interpersonal
and
this
internal,
where
people
internalize
their
racism
I
would
just
like
to
know.
How
will
these
conversations
continue?
AQ
C
C
AR
All
right,
so
my
question
to
you
is
that
I
understand
that
this
is
supposed
to
be
a
dialogue
and
everything,
but
our
communities
are
at
risk
right
now
we
have
developers
that
keep
making
these
buildings
that
don't
put
in
the
rent,
the
market,
rent,
actual
properties
within
the
building,
they're,
not
even
handicap
accessible.
They
keep
building
restaurants
and
my
neighborhoods
and
I'm
scared
in
the
next
ten
to
five
years.
I'm
not
gonna,
live
in
bossing
him
yeah.
What
I
leave
you
wait?
Can
I
just
address
that.
C
What
we're
talking
about
today
is
is
the
conversation
on
race.
Well,
you
will
you
brought
up,
was
equity
across
the
city
and
housing
and
a
whole
bunch
of
issues
and
we're
constantly
working
on
those
issues
in
the
video
that
was
was
that
was
seen
before
this
everybody
that
spoke
works
in
different
departments
across
the
city
of
arson
equities
at
the
core
of
it.
So,
for
example,
we
talked
about
housing
and
creating
more
housing,
we're
looking
at
gentrification
and
how
do
we?
C
How
do
we
build
more
housing
product
to
make
sure
that
that
people
can
live
in
their
neighborhoods
I'm
a
Dorchester
kid
I
live
in
Dorchester
economic
development?
How
can
we
bring
jobs
to
communities
that
can
give
middle
class
jobs
for
folks
in
regardless
of
the
education
level,
regardless
of
what's
going
on,
regardless
of
backgrounds
and
quarries
and
all
that
stuff,
so
we'll
work?
We
work
on
all
those
different
aspects
and
I.
C
Just
ask
you,
you
know
you:
can
you
can
access
it
by
either
going
on
our
website,
or
you
can
have
conversations
here
today
with
some
of
our
folks,
but
we're
not
we're
not
holding
back
on
any
of
that
stuff.
I'm
sitting
right
in
front
of
you
is
gonna,
be
our
new
director
of
helping
Human,
Services,
Manny
Martinez
and
his
departments
have
fallen
to
him,
probably
the
most
impacted
equity
departments
in
the
city,
so
we're
constantly
out
in
the
communities
working
on
stuff
when
Danielson,
Tavares
and
Tanya
talked
about
hiring
in
the
city
of
Boston.
C
In
the
last
four
years,
54%
of
all
hires
that
we
brought
on
in
the
city
54%
are
people
of
color
at
all
different
levels.
So
my
cabinet,
we
have
people
of
color,
my
cabinet,
we
have
so
it's
important
as
we
think
about
this
and,
as
we
think
about
getting
somebody
on
the
ground
floor
for
per
se,
how
do
you
help
them
move
advanced
through
the
organization?
So
they
get
into
a
position.
They
can
be
successful.
That's
those
are
all
things.
Maybe.
E
You
foresee
and
I
think
at
the
point
of
the
question
I
hear
is
that
the
city
is
being
priced
out
for
working
folks,
regardless
of
color,
but
in
particular
the
communities
of
color.
You
know
so,
as
the
development
goes
out
into
the
communities,
guess
what
all
of
a
sudden
these!
You
know
nice
apartments
that
the
folks
who
couldn't
afford
the
Seaport
there
now
for
ting
it
a
little
further
out
and
it's.
C
Bumping
when
you
say
that
we've
permitted
in
the
last
four
years,
we've
permitted
22,000
units
of
housing.
What
does
that
mean?
That
means
we've
built
and
in
or
in
the
process
of
building
more
housing
than
any
other
period,
probably
that
maybe
maybe
in
the
early
day
the
bosses
they
built
that
many
too
much
housing,
but
within
the
probably
most
of
the
20th
century
in
the
21st.
Clearly,
we've
built
more
moderate,
low-income
housing
than
almost
any
other
period
ever
and
we're
building
more
housing.
So
we
have
22,000
units
of
housing.
Our
population
is,
we
have.
C
We
have
set
a
record
for
building
low-income
housing
and
we
have
set
a
record
for
building
affordable
housing
and
is
it
as
and
we
have
also
we've
changed-
the
inclusionary
development
policy
from
13%
to
18%.
With
the
help
of
the
voters
of
Boston,
we
passed
a
Community
Preservation
Act
to
raise
money
for
housing
and
economic
development,
so
that
has
to
be
acknowledged.
Z
C
B
Work
in
the
private
sector
and
I
noticed
that
you
mentioned
a
lot
of
initiatives
for
equality
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Is
there
any
way
to
put
requirements
for
businesses
that
they?
Because,
as
we
see
at
the
national
level,
the
private
sector
is
going
to
get
a
huge
tax
break?
Possibly
aren't
we
doing
enough
for
the
private
sector
for
the
private
sector,
businesses
can't
they
give
something
back
to
the
community
yeah.
C
The
construction
side,
we
can
do
it
on
the
construction
side,
we
can
do
that.
It's
been
challenged
in
a
couple
cities
in
Massachusetts
and
one
where
the
the
policy
are
thrown
out.
So
we're
walking
a
fine
line
there.
We
have
those
conversations
all
the
time
and
we're
gonna
continue
to
have
those
conversations.
I
think
some
companies
have
done
better
than
others.
I
think
some
companies
need
to
do
more.
They
haven't
and
I
think
that
you
know
again.
It
goes
back
to
these
conversations
about
having
these
conversations
inside
businesses.
C
Let
me
just
try
and
make
one
analogy
and
then
they'll
stop
saying:
oh,
we
have
to
do
breakout
sessions.
Four
years
ago,
we
acknowledged
in
Boston
that
we
need
knowledge.
We
knew
we've
been
talking
about
frontiers,
pay
equity
between
men
and
women,
and
we
started
what's
called
salary
negotiation
workshops,
and
our
goal
was
in
five
years
to
have
85,000
conversations
around
the
city
of
Boston
and
to
this
point,
we've
had
6,000
conversations
of
the
city
of
Boston
and
how
many
of
those
were
successful.
C
C
It
became
a
policy,
it
became
a
working
group
and
these
these,
these
they
say
5500
women-
have
gone
into
the
business
world
and
negotiated
higher
pay
for
themselves
because
of
something
that
started
in
the
city.
These
race
dialogues
can
do
the
same
exact
thing
to
your
point:
to
have
these
conversations
to
bring
these
conversations
into
the
workplace
to
have
these
dialogues
about?
How
do
we
change
the
cultures
of
giving
people
opportunities
for
moving
forward?
That's
what
these
conversations
are
all
about.
C
C
One
conversation
can
change
the
world
and
I
mean
that
when
somebody
explains
what
it
feels
like
to
be
walking
around
the
store
shopping
and
having
security
walk
you
around,
if
they
don't
understand
what
that's
all
about,
can
change
the
way,
people
the
perspective
and
the
understanding
of
people's
understanding
towards
each
other,
and
that's
what
these
conversations
are
all
about.
Is
it
gonna,
be
the
answer?
I
don't
know,
but
it's
gonna
be.
It's
gonna,
make
it
better,
more
understanding
society
of
people
knowing
what's
going
on.
That's
what
this
is
all
about.
C
I
want
you
to
leave,
leave
here
today
and
don't
leave
here
and
say:
oh,
this
is
all
nonsense
and
nothing's
gonna
happen.
You
know
something.
Take
that
and
focus
on
having
a
dialogue.
Having
a
conversation,
explain
to
someone
who
doesn't
understand
what
we're
talking
about
in
the
city
take
that
somewhere
else
tonight.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
Thank
you
so
much
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
and.
E
I
Good
morning,
everyone
good
morning,
if
you
are
not
staying
for
a
session,
please
try
to
keep
your
voices
down,
because
other
folks
who
are
staying
need
to
hear
the
instructions
for
the
next
part.
I
appreciate
your
cooperation
and
support
and
as
we
transition
before
I
get
into
these
weeds
and
details.
I
just
want
to
remind
us
of
something
that
the
wonderful
Paulo
Freire
has
said
around
the
power
of
dialog.
I
I
They
are
a
form
of
action,
because
if
we
cannot
be
in
the
same
conversation,
if
we
do
not
have
the
same
language,
understanding
of
the
issues
we'll
be
continuing
to
do
what
we've
been
doing
over
the
last
generations,
which
is
talking
at
each
other,
but
not
really
being
in
dialogue
with
each
other.
We
can't
get
to
action
if
we're
not
on
the
same
page,
about
the
reality
of
our
society
and
how
it
impacts.
All
of
us.
I
I
So
Boston
tackles
home
ownership,
housing,
discrimination
and
displacement.
So
for
those
folks
who
are
here
to
learn
more
about
what
the
city
is
doing
around,
how
there's
an
amazing
panel
that
will
be
focusing
on
those
issues
so
the
so
as
we
transition
we're.
Gonna
do
this
in
groups,
so
hopefully
you
decided
on
which
session
you
want
to
participate
in.
Yes,
awesome!
Thank
you
so,
dialogue
to
action
again,
these
are
the
facilitators
who
have
recently
been
trained
on
how
to
collectively
be
on
the
same
page
around
a
framework
on
how
we
move
forward.
I
With
these
discussions
they
were
just
fit.
They
just
finished
their
training
yesterday,
actually
and
I
see
some
of
those
beautiful
faces
right
here
in
the
fourth
row.
They
are
going
to
Richard's
200,
where
the
but
where's
the
volunteer
who's,
taking
folks
to
Richard's
200
perfect.
Can
you
come
up
here?
Please,
where
Oh
not
all
the
way
to
the
front,
but
just
where
folks
can
see
you
so
far,
our
facilitators.
This
gentleman
right
here
waving
his
arms
behind
you,
our
facilitators
in
the
fourth
row
that
gentleman
right
there.
I
Our
facilitators
in
the
fourth
row
that
gentleman
right
there
in
the
white
shirt
with
the
black
jacket
on
raise
your
hands
again
with
the
phone
in
his
hand,
he's
going
to
take
you
back
to
that
session.
So
that's
both
for
the
facilitators
and
that's
where
the
participants
who
want
to
talk
to
the
facilitators
about
their
experience
and
how
we
move
forward.
