From YouTube: NAACP Convention Announcement
Description
Mayor Walsh, NAACP members, elected officials, and community members gather at the Bruce C. Bolling Building to announce that the 111th NAACP National Convention will be held in Boston in 2020.
A
B
B
To
far
I
had
myself,
but
it
would
be
the
best
one
you'd
ever
have
you
know
Jim
and
Russell
President
Johnson.
She
saw
the
president
shoving
one
Cofield.
Thank
you
very
much,
Michael
Curry,
all
the
folks
that
are
here
today,
the
past
presidents.
We
have
two
other
messiyah,
the
launch
spice'
for
framing.
B
B
B
B
B
But
I'm
on
a
timeline
here
so
I'll,
be
quick
now
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Boston,
is
my
honor
to
officially
welcome
the
national
leadership
of
the
NAACP
here
to
our
city.
We
are
honored
and
thrilled
and
excited
and
happy
to
host
the
2020
convention.
Accepting
the
invitations
was
certainly
one
of
the
most
proudest
moments.
For
me
as
mayor
of
the
city
of
Boston,
I
don't
want
to
give
up
shock
Sergey.
Sorry.
B
This
convention
will
be
a
milestone
event
in
Boston's
history,
as
many
of
you
know,
if
you
don't
know,
Boston
is
home
to
the
first
charted
branch
of
the
NAACP
and
it's
an
iconic
American
institution,
certainly
a
champion
for
civil
rights
and
social
justice
and
still
continues
today
to
carry
that
mantle
and
to
fight
that
conference.
It's
a
force
for
good
in
progress.
The
annual
convention
is
an
opportunity,
so
we
can
have
a
discussion
on
what
our
nation
needs
to
do.
B
This
past
July
I
had
the
honor
to
go
to
the
convention
in
Detroit.
It
was
a
very
powerful
experience.
I
met
with
some
of
the
nation's
greatest
civil
rights
leaders.
We
had
some
honest
and
real
conversations,
and
we
returned
home
with
new
partnerships
and
new
friendships
to
tackle
some
of
the
greatest
challenges
of
our
time.
Now,
it's
Boston's
turn
to
host
the
NAACP
convention
and
bring
the
convention
to
our
communities.
This
convention
is
not
coming
to
Boston.
B
This
convention
is
coming
to
our
neighborhoods
and
it's
something
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
all
Bostonians
are
part
of
the
product,
because
it's
not
about
having
a
convention
at
its
Convention
Center
and
in
a
hotel.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
has
an
opportunity
to
experience
the
NAACP's
history
and
tradition
and
how
we're
gonna
move
forward
and
move
our
country
forward
hosting
this
convention
allows
us
the
opportunity
to
chance
to
build
on
the
progress
that's
been
made.
B
We
have
to
move
forward
together
over
the
past
few
days,
representatives
of
the
NAACP
and
the
leadership
have
been
in
Boston
and
have
spent
time
touring
our
city
and
seeing
what
our
city
has
to
offer.
They
visited
the
Convention
Center
and
some
other
potential
venues
for
events.
Workshops
talking
to
speakers
and
selling
books
and
celebrations
that
were
be
planning
in
this
is
the
was
one
of
the
most
highly
anticipated
conventions
in
long
history,
we're
at
a
pivotal
moment
in
our
nation's
history
and
that's
something
to
understand
and
then
continue
it
acknowledged
in
Boston.
B
We
stand
for
civil
rights
and
social
justice.
The
enduring
values
of
the
NAACP.
Our
city
is
succeeding
because
we
leave
with
those
values
and
our
city,
as
always,
has
because
of
resilience
and
the
contributions
of
our
black
community.
Here
in
Boston,
we
look
forward
to
hosting
next
summer.
This
is
a
huge
opportunity
for
the
city
of
Boston
and
we're
expected
to
be
one
of
the
most
respected
to
be
one
of
the
most
powerful
conventions
ever
the
timing
of
this
convention.
B
2020
also
is
unique
when
you
think
about,
as
we
lead
into
a
presidential
election,
the
eyes
of
the
world
will
be
on
Boston
during
that
week
in
that
convention,
because
the
conversations
that
will
be
happening
in
our
city
I
want
to
make
a
special
thank
you
to
teacher
Sullivan
in
the
Boston
branch.
Who's
worked
extremely
hard
on
this
and
the
work
that
were
working
collaboratively
together
to
make
sure
that
this
convention
is
the
best
that
you've
ever
had.
B
We
want
you
at
the
end
of
that
convention
when
you
walk
on
that
stage,
and
you
announce
the
next
city
and
the
next
group
of
people
on
that
stage.
I
want
people
to
say:
wow
Boston
was
amazing
not
because
of
the
parties,
not
because
of
the
celebrations,
but
because
of
the
conversations
so
I
want
to
welcome
you
to
Boston
and
thank
you
very
much
for
choosing
boss.
C
We
are
going
to
do
whatever
we
need
to
do
to
make
sure
that
the
city
and
the
convention
and
the
state
work
together
to
make
this
truly
a
wonderful
and
memorable
experience
for
everybody.
Who's
involved.
Lieutenant
governor
and
I
spend
a
lot
of
time
with
our
colleagues
of
local
government
across
the
Commonwealth.
We
really
do
believe
having
both
served
in
local
government
ourselves
at
one
point
or
another,
that
if
you
don't
make
local
community
strong,
you
don't
have
a
strong
Commonwealth.
C
It's
as
simple
as
that
and
for
us
this
is
to
partner
with
the
NAACP
and
with
the
city
of
Boston
and
all
the
other
players
and
partners
to
make
sure
that
this
is
a
really
special
occasion
and
a
terrific
event
and
one
that
creates
possibility,
hope
and
opportunity
going
forward.
The
the
final
thing
I
was
asked
to
do
when
I
am
trying
to
be
brief
here,
I'm
going
to
live
within
my
time.
C
You
know
we
all
speak
at
this
is
a
total
tangent
I
apologize.
We
all
speak
at
the
Martin
Luther
King
breakfast
every
year
that
takes
place
here
in
the
Commonwealth
and-
and
we
are
always
given
by
the
organizers
and
the
faith
community-
very
strict
limits
on
how
long
we
are
allowed
to
speak
and
I
usually
speak
right
before.
C
C
I
apologize
to
the
temperatures
and
I
would
just
say
that
we
are,
as
I
said,
honored
to
have
you
all
choose
this
great
Commonwealth
in
this
great
city
of
Boston,
but
most
of
all,
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
we're
going
to
do
everything
we
can,
as
the
mayor
said,
to
make
whoever
it
is.
That
gets
the
next
gig
on
this
dr.,
sweat.
D
Mayor
Walsh,
it
is
probably
the
most
auspicious
year
that
we
could
possibly
have
a
convention
in
Boston.
We
were
last
here
in
1982
that
was
a
great
year
for
the
NAACP.
Historically,
as
we
dealt
with
some
of
one
of
the
most
important
issues
of
litigation
that
ever
faced
our
association
piece
of
litigation
that
challenged
our
ability
to
really
speak
to
communities
about
the
discrimination
they
were
carrying
on.
That
was
the
Port
Gibson
Mississippi
case.
D
That
was
culminated,
and
we
finally
were
victorious
in
that
situation
in
terms
of
retaining
our
ability
to
be
a
strong
voice
for
civil
rights
and
social
justice
in
this
nation.
And
so
we
celebrated
that
here,
in
Boston,
in
1980
to
Boston,
is
very
important
to
the
history
of
the
NAACP.
If
we
think
about
the
fact
that
we
will
be
going
into
our
51st
image
awards
program,
we
really
started
talking
about
the
image
of
african-americans
black
Americans
that
was
portrayed
on
the
screen.
D
The
first
protest
really
came
out
of
Boston
when
we
talked
about
that
that
whole
well,
I
won't
even
mention
the
movie,
but
it
was
the
one
that
we
had
to
go
to
the
White
House
and
tell
the
president.
He
ought
not
be
showing
birth
of
the
nation
all
right,
so
Boston
is
important
to
us.
It's
given
us
many
leaders
over
the
years.
You
think
back
and
historically,
this
city
has
meant
much
to
the
Association
just
giving
us
leaders
like
Lenny.
D
E
D
Lead
the
policymaking
for
this
nation.
That's
a
serious
thing
when
you
think
about
2020
and
when
you
think
about
will
be
here
in
July,
and
some
conventions
will
have
already
determined
who
will
be
in
that
context,
the
real
contest
it's
important
time.
We
appreciate
the
support
the
city
has
given
us.
We
appreciate
the
support
of
the
state
of
Massachusetts,
we'll
give
it
to
us
we're
bringing
on
a
new
partner
and
we're
very
happy
that
the
Rockefeller
Foundation
we'll
be
supporting
what
we
do
here,
as
they
have
supported
what
you
do
in
the
city
of
Boston.
D
We
will
bring
folks
from
all
over
the
country.
We
know
that
you
will
be
able
to
show
them
the
dynamic
things
that
are
happening
here
in
Boston,
and
we
hope
that
they
will
be
inspired
to
take
some
of
what
you're
doing
back
to
their
communities.
We
will
show
taste
you
as
you
have
never
been
showcased
before
we
look
forward
to
an
outstanding
convention
with
the
leadership
here,
Tanisha
and
Juan,
and
all
of
the
folks
who
make
up
the
local
NAACP
community.
F
It
is
definitely
an
honor
to
join
you
today
for
our
first
official
announcement,
the
111
convening
of
our
delegates
from
47
states,
2200
units
across
the
country
and
believe
it
or
not.
We
have
members
who
will
be
traveling
here
from
Alaska
from
Hawaii
from
Florida
from
Maine
and
all
four
points
in
between,
but
is
also.
G
F
Because
one
of
our
founders,
who
is
one
of
the
first
graduates
of
Harvard,
will
be
smiling
down
on
us
that
we
meet
aboard
something
of
us.
We
travel
together
this
year
to
recognize
the
400th
year
of
the
transatlantic
slave
trade.
It
was
significant
to
us
because
that's
also
the
country
where
wbd
boards
laid
to
rest.
It
was
about
yeah,
not
anywhere
else,
and
so
many
others
who
understood
the
nature
of
the
social
justice
organizations
like
the
double
ACP.
F
F
We
have
to
play
pay
close
attention
of
the
direction
for
the
four
n
double
acp
national
bicha
will
be
one
of
the
final
places
they
will
provide
a
stage
of
individuals
buying
for
the
White
House
will
be
the
lead
up
to
both
the
Democratic
and
the
Republican
convention.
There
will
be
a
stage
where
we
were
all
candidates
to
our
Bible
for
the
office
of
the
speech,
but
we
would
not
surrender
the
microphone
for
racial
hate
speech.
F
So
anyone
who's
not
willing
to
speak
to
the
issues
that
are
germane
to
the
african-american
community,
specifically
into
this
nation
and
Jennifer.
N-Double-A-Cp
is
our
role
to
make
democracy
work
for
everyone,
and
we
can
only
do
that
with
supporters
and
volunteers,
like
our
branch
president
to
dish
yourself.
F
F
We
convened
our
delegates
from
across
the
country
as
I
from
across
the
nation
and
in
this
case
around
the
below
look
one
boss.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
display,
both
in
words
in
action,
the
diversity
of
this
nation,
the
potential
of
our
future
generations
and
the
opportunities
that
we
had
to
make
democracy
work
for
all
I
look
forward
to
joining
you
man.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership.
Governor
I
want
to
be
at
the
signing
ceremony
for
the
budget
as
you
support
the
French.
F
H
H
Selecting
the
site
for
the
111
National
Convention
was
no
easy
task.
2020
is
going
to
be
in
a
very
pivotal
year,
a
very
powerful
year
for
each
and
every
one
of
us
and
it
will
change
and
dictate
the
course
of
America
for
the
next
20
years,
and
so
we
recorded
by
many
many
people.
Boxin
was
not
on
the
radar
I'm
going
to
be
brutally
honest,
but
I
had
a
tenacious
board
member
in
Michael
Curry.
H
He
said
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Boston
really
wants
us,
and
so
it
is
my
job
to
record
a
job
that
recommend
to
the
National
War.
What
is
the
best
proposal
for
our
delegates
to
the
n-double-a-cp
and
after
traveling
many
cities
and
I'm
not
going
today,
though,
I
told
Michael
craft
said,
Mr,
Graham
Oh
cut
the
pause
and
when
I
left
Boston.
H
Let
me
tell
you
it
was
because
of
the
energetic
and
the
aggressive
enthusiasm
war
member
Michael
Curry
in
memoirs.
When
we
got
here,
they
laid
out
the
red
carpet
and
I
left.
His
saying
I
must
recommend
to
the
poor,
the
city
of
Boston,
because
they
really
want
us
and
I
want
to
come
in
walk
member
Michael,
Curry
and
Mail
wash
because
you
laid
out
the
red
carpet
and
I
would
tell
you.
H
We
have
a
very
tenacious,
energetic
and
being
organized
grass,
president
in
tanishav
salary
and
she
had
the
shoulders
that
she's
going
to
have
an
inclusive
committee
and
they're
going
to
be
together,
and
we
have
a
seasoned,
State
Conference
president
and
Juan
Cole
field.
But
what
I
want
to
lead
to
you
is
that
when
we
arrived
this
summer
in
Boston
I,
don't
care
what
creed
color
religion,
you
are,
everyone
is
invited
to
participate.
H
H
I
I
Has
been
important
to
the
Rockefeller
Foundation
in
the
past,
and
our
future
is
one
in
which
we
are
very
much
looking
forward
to
partnering
with
you.
The
Rockefeller
Foundation
is
active
and
place-based
work
in
26
cities
in
the
United
States.
One
of
those
cities
is
the
city
of
Boston
and
in
the
city
of
Boston.
The
city
Boston
is
the
only
of
those
26
cities
that
has
identified
racial
equity
and
economic
mobility
as
been
number
one
resilience
strategy.
I
I
I
I
I
J
Well,
our
local
board
members,
Michael
Curry,
who
you
heard
referenced
earlier.
He
is
really
sorry
that
he's
not
able
to
be
here
today,
but
certainly
we
greatly
appreciate
not
only
the
work
that
he
has
done
on
the
national
level
but,
as
you
know,
he's
my
predecessor
and
really
did
set
the
bar
pretty
high
for
me,
and
so
we
want
to
thank
him
and
as
well,
Ron
Cofield,
our
other
locally
based
national
board
member,
the
convention
planning
committee,
you
already
heard
from
chairman
Turner
and
of
course
I-
must
thank
dr.
hazel
Dukes,
the
civil
rights.
J
J
J
Thank
yous,
I
know,
but
I
do
also
want
to,
of
course,
acknowledge
and
thank
both
the
mayor
and
the
governor
and
the
lieutenant
governor
for
your
commitment
to
making
sure
that
this
convention
is
not
just
one
of
the
best
that
we've
had
in
the
Association,
but
truly
that
it
is
a
reflection
of
the
best
of
all
of
us
here
in
this
part
of
the
country.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
other
elected
officials,
our
faith,
community,
Thank,
You
bishops
for
being
here.
J
Civil
rights
partners,
the
business
community
I
see
Jim
Rooney
here.
Thank
you
so
very
much
academia
and,
of
course,
our
philanthropic
communities.
As
you've
already
heard,
the
Boston
branch
of
this
association
is
a
historic
ranch.
In
fact,
we
have
the
distinction
of
being
the
first
charter
branch
in
this
association.
J
That's
a
legacy
that
belongs
to
all
of
us
right
downtown
at
the
Park
Street
Church,
a
uniquely
diverse
group
of
lost
onehans
in
1912,
received
our
Charter,
our
each
other
black
white
Christian
Jewish
men
and
women
came
together
to
say
that
we
must
stand
together
and
work
together
to
eliminate
racial
discrimination
and
bring
about
racial
equality
in
this
country.
I'm
proud
to
serve
as
the
31st
president
of
this
branch
for
the
sixth
woman.
J
The
roots
of
this
association
in
Boston
and
across
this
region
are
beef
from
the
first
president
of
the
Association
Mauri
Mauri
fields,
story
to
our
founder
wev
guava
to
the
lake
Kitty
Kaplan
and
to
our
very
own
Tom
Adkins.
The
fingerprints
of
Bostonians
are
inextricably
woven
into
the
fabric
of
the
NAACP.
J
J
J
I
want
you
to
know
that
we
were
very
intentional
about
being
in
Roxbury
today,
being
in
Roxbury
serves
as
a
reminder
to
all
of
us
the
mission
of
this
organization,
the
work
we
do
every
day
in
neighborhoods
across
the
city
and
across
this
nation,
is
about
the
dignity,
the
work
and
humanity
of
people,
especially
those
who
are
so
often
shut
out
by
systemic
racism
and
classism
black
people.
Working-Class
people
that
next
Asian
Pacific
Islanders
women,
members
of
the
LGBTQIA
community,
the
work
of
the
NAACP,
has
never
been
about
moments
or
short-term
gains
or
photo
opportunities.
J
J
J
K
The
collection
of
all
of
us
will
deliver
for
the
NAACP,
like
never
before
the
conviction
will
put
the
spotlight
on
the
wonderful
advocacy
work
of
the
Boston
branch
and
the
outstanding
advocacy
work
of
the
New
England
area
powers.
It
will
also
address
the
systemic
racial
inequities
throughout
the
United
States.
K
One
of
the
truly
huge
access
of
the
Greater
Boston
area
is
the
vast
array
of
exceptional
educational
institutions
in
the
Greater
Boston
area.
The
NAACP
will
expose
our
young
and
talented
young
numbers
to
some
of
these
institutions
and
also
expose
these
same
institution
to
the
talented
and
smart
young
leaders
across
the
country.
We
are
talking
today
about
how
we
will
bring
young
folks
here,
how
to
be
an
ACP
and
expose
them
to
these
institutions.
K
We
see
this
as
a
win
for
our
young
freedom
fighters
for
the
educational
institutions
and
the
Greater
Boston
area
to
have
these
young
students
mature
matriculating.
Here
amongst
us,
thank
you
for
being
here.
We
appreciate
you
being
here
and
I
can
also
say
that
I'm
coming
from
a
vantage
point
of
an
emphasis
on
education
of
having
served
as
the
vice
chair
of
the
Board
of
Higher
Education
a
number
of
years
ago.
Thank
you
so
much.
L
L
Have
I
overlooked
anyone?
Oh
sorry
and
our
great
my
great
colleague,
and
for
the
days
of
this
Miranda.
L
L
So
I'm
Russell
Holmes
I
have
the
honor
of
representing
portions
of
Matt
Randall,
just
a
high-power,
Rosendale
and
JP
and
I
was
asked
just
to
say
a
few
words.
Just
from
the
perspective
of
what
we
think
of
and
the
challenges
we
have
in
government.
So
I
began
with
the
mission
statement
that
the
n-double-a-cp
had
many
years
ago,
and
it
reads
to
uplift,
the
colored
men
and
women
of
this
country
by
securing
them
a
full
enjoyment
of
their
rights
as
citizens,
justice
in
all
sports
and
equality
to
opportunity
everywhere.
L
I
begin
with
that
statement
because
of
my
good
friend
the
government,
because
there
has
been
often
I've
been
immediate,
listen
where
he
says
true,
believes
that
he
has
is
that
talent
has
been
distributed
in
every
one
race,
gender
and
nationality.
But
unfortunately
it's
the
last
part
of
that
statement
about
equality
to
opportunity
for
everyone.
That
is
really
the
challenge
that
we
see
each
and
every
day
and
I
begin
there,
because
I
was
fortunately
chair
of
the
caucus
when
he
became
governor
and
he
made
a
commitment
on
that
first
meeting
that
the
black
Latino
caucus
had.
L
L
Have
we
have
an
agreement
pretty
much
we're
going
to
drop
down
all
you
know,
governor
mister
representative,
all
those
things
for
about
an
hour
and
a
half
and
we're
going
to
have
a
real
conversation
for
about
an
hour
and
a
half,
and
then
we're
going
to
get
away
from
that
conversation
and
then
still
be
able
walk
away
as
friend
and
those
conversation,
those
in
those
rooms
have
been
challenging
around
the
fact
that
a
sense
of
the
conversations
around
let's
say
opiates.
The
fact
that
all
of
a
sudden
the
face
an
erasable
kid
has
changed.
L
Again,
to
understand
that
he's
willing
to
have
that
conversation,
I
can
tell
you
they've
been
opiates
supply
of
the
virtually
silver
service
housing.
I
can
tell
you
when
we
sat
down
and
just
say,
have
a
conversation
that
we
had
done
an
awful
lot
of
construction
in
the
Commonwealth
around
affordable
housing,
but
in
all
their
rentals
and
for
him
to
walk
away
and
then
come
back
in
two
months
and
say
well,
we
do
have
about
85
million
dollars.
We
can
now
dedicate
to
ownership.
L
L
Under
the
president's
point
we
also
have
comes,
is
about
black
people
and
and
having
a
conversation
straights
around
the
fact
that
you
need
a
black
Advisory
Council
and
a
Latino
advisory
council
as
well
as
women
and
all
other,
obviously
disproportionate,
in
fact
the
communities,
but
to
have
that
and
have
a
set
up
and
an
agenda
that
says
here
are
all
the
issues
that
we've
heard
from
you
as
black
people
have
asked
Latino
people
that
we
want
to
address,
and
so
I.
Thank
him
for
that,
and
that's
why.
L
This
is
why
it
is
important
for
me
to
begin
I
know
the
president
had
mentioned
just
a
moment
ago
that
we
have
$200,000,
that
we
expect
him
to
sign.
I
began
with
saying:
let's
definitely
sign
that,
but
I
said
the
Karen
when
that
was
announced.
But
those
who
don't
know
we've
been
struggling
with
a
budget
and
getting
the
supplemental
budget
done.
L
L
L
L
Having
just
the
logistics
of
trying
to
organize
that's
here
in
the
city
of
Boston,
which
is
hard
getting
all
of
us
black
Latino
AIDS
and
all
of
us
into
a
room
every
two
weeks
to
try
to
figure
out
what
is
it,
it
was
gonna
go
at
Marty
at
the
mayor
about
because
that's
really
what
we're
trying
to
figure
out.
What
is
the
agenda?
How
do
we
move
this?
Vide
and
I
can
just
tell
you
some
of
those
hard
conversations
have
been.
L
L
Look
at
how
do
we
have
an
industry
that,
quite
frankly,
many
white
folks
is
to
drop
into
the
city
to
get
cannabis,
and
that
was
just
the
reputation.
But
then
the
moment
it
becomes
legal
officer,
black
pepper
will
drive
the
white
neighborhood
because
it's
legal.
We
have
to
change
that
to
say
how
do
we
make
sure
that
we
are
disproportionate
community
that
we
now
have
this
opportunity
because
in
fact,
allowed
this
bill
comes
down
to
funding.
It
still
comes
down
to.
L
How
do
we
figure
out
the
businesses
that
are
what
they've
taken
about
a
million
dollars
to
get
together?
I'm
gonna
just
go
on
and
just
say
all
of
us
know
the
numbers.
The
number
is
eight
dollars
a
minute.
Look:
eight
dollars
to
two
hundred
forty
seven
thousand
five
hundred.
We
know
the
challenge
for
those
who
are
the
National
double
ACP.
L
Maybe
you
don't
know
what
I
mean
by
that
number,
but
that
is
the
average
wealth
from
a
black
here
in
the
City
of
Boston
from
several
years
ago
of
eight
dollars
and
an
average
white
two
hundred
forty
seven
thousand
five
hundred
I
can
just
simply
tell
you
that
when
I
think
of
Tanisha,
when
I
think
of
this
of
this
opportunity-
and
you
talked
about
this-
isn't
indeed
about
yes
that
day
it
is
about.
Indeed,
how
do
we
make
sure
that
we're
using
every
vendor
we
possibly
can
use
from
our
communities?
L
This
is
about
making
sure
that
when
the
n-double-a-cp
leaves
here,
you
have
left
a
solid
foundation
for
the
local
grant
left
the
solid
foundation
for
our
community,
so
that
we
can
start
to
address
this
disproportionate
wealth
gap
and
obviously,
all
of
the
income
gap
that
we
have
here
in
the
city.
This
is
an
incredible
opportunity.
We
are
an
incredible
city,
but
we're
incredible
city
that
only
a
few
folks
really
have
the
full
advantage
of
which
goes
back
to
what
your
initial
theme
of
full
enjoyment
of
their
rights
as
citizens
in
equality
to
opportunity.
I'm
not.
D
E
L
Gonna
hear
now
and
just
simply
say:
we've
done
it
in
government
we've
been
doing
an
excellent
job.
I
look
around
the
room,
I
think
about
I
envision
Ayana.
It
looks
like
we're,
gonna
have
we're,
gonna
have
Michele
deny
and
now
Kim
as
City
Council,
President,
let's
jail
on
Draya
and
then
Kim.
That
is
a
great
thing.
We
also
want
to
make
sure
you
recognize
that
we
have
in
in
this
city.
In
this
great
city.
We
have
a
black
commissioner,
a
black
PA
and
we
have
a
black,
obviously
sheriff.
That
is
just
one
of
the
place.
L
I
simply
say:
let's
make
sure
we
highlight,
let's
make
sure
at
the
convention
that
all
my
supposed
to
get
their
attention
that
it's
due
because
of
the
fact
that
that
is
an
amazing
feat
to
have
all
those
arms
of
government
represented
by
black
people.
So
I
am
we're
just
simply
saying
let
us
create
when
we
leave
here.
L
So
all
of
you
folks
here
today,
even
though
Felicia
didn't
say
it
all
of
you,
please
find
an
N
double
ACP
application,
black
white
Hispanic,
Asian
whomever
you
are
sign
up,
because,
even
though
we
were
saying
hey,
we
don't
we
want
everyone
to
show
up
on
that
day,
we
need
to
as
a
community
embrace
the
n-double-a-cp
branch.
Now,
let's
not
just
show
up
and
enjoy
ourselves
next
year
and
have
a
good
time.
Let
us
come
to
the
meetings.
A
A
B
F
So
if
there's
always
a
ghost
n-double-a-cp
to
be
as
inclusive
as
possible,
with
our
vendors
to
make
sure
we
bump
from
both
and
provide
opportunity
for
African
American
vendors,
this
commission
would
be
different.
We
will
be
working
with
Tunisia
and
the
local
community
to
have
identified
particular
business.
We
typically
for
prevention
disaster
having
around
10,000
people
Britta
waffles
with
a
in
Boston,
but
if
one
of
our
goals
will
be
to
try
to
attract
admit,
people
from
the
community
also
come
join
us
in
the
kitchen.
E
M
Ma'am
hi
Krystal
Haynes
from
Boston
25.
My
question
is:
is
just
sort
of
going
off
on
including
the
vendors,
the
given
the
location
site
for
the
convention,
how
we're
going
to
bring
communities
from
Roxbury
Mattapan
George
Chester,
so
that
they're
involved
in
this,
because
it's
sort
of
isolated
from
those
communities.
J
But
we're
also
going
to
look
for
opportunities
like
this
one,
to
make
sure
that
we
are
connecting
the
convention
into
our
neighborhoods,
because
it's
so
very
important
that
N
double
AC
p--
ears
and
our
guests
from
across
the
country
get
a
sense
of
the
soul
of
the
city.
And
you
really
can
only
do
that
by
being
in
the
neighborhood.
So
we
are
gonna
work
aggressively
to
make
sure
that
that
happens.
We're.
B
Also
working
very
close
to
the
NAC
P
Boston
to
identify
vendors
for
all
the
different
things
that
we're
going
to
have,
whether
it's
catering
or
food
or
swag
at
the
convention.
All
of
that
stuff
we're
going
to
be
making
sure
that
it's
a
very
diverse
team
and
the
people
of
color
and
from
the
neighborhoods
have
opportunities
to
access
the
benefits
of
bringing
10,000
people
to
the
city
of
Boston.
B
Millions
and
millions
of
dollars
spent
the
money
that
the
state's
going
to
attribute
is
a
portion
we're
looking
at
about
willing
to
raise
for
anywhere
from
3.5
to
4
million
dollars.
That's
going
to
be
using
the
convention
and
we've
got
see
the
supermajority
90
plus
hundred
percent
of
that
money
spent
on
business.
Look.
F
Excellent
question:
we
are
here
over
the
next
couple
of
days
to
talk
about
the
progress
of
the
convention.
Substance
abuse
is
one
of
the
topics
that
we
are
considering.
It
was
normal.
Portulaca
will
have
that
conversation
along
with
mass
incarceration
to
not
only
have
an
opioid
epidemic.
That
is
a
result
of
mental
health
issues.
A
A
In
addition
to
that,
over
there,
a
text
message
window
and
to
the
number
four
zero
six
four
nine
text,
the
message:
Boston
2020
and
let
your
friends
know
that
you
are
here
today
and
that
you're
going
to
encourage
everybody
else
to
sign
up
and
keep
updated
on
the
the
news
and
activities
that
are
going
to
be
happening
with
this
convention.
Before
we
get
here,
four
zero:
six,
four,
nine
and
you're
texting
the
message:
Boston
2024.
O
O
Mathematics
round
across
the
channel
the
number,
what
number
contract,
what
number
of
ownership
are
we
developing
attribute
maintain
ourselves?
So
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
that
in
terms
of
home
ownership,
the
business
ownership
in
contract
I
like
to
XE
for
the
fights
and
other
places.
So
we
are
wondering,
are
you
going
to
be
looking
at
the
numbers,
so
we
can
tell
them
you're,
impacting
the
communities
not
just
in
Boston,
but
in
the
nation
right
now,.
B
We're
going
to
provide
the
NAACP
Executive
Committee,
with
all
the
information
that
was
talked
about
today.
What
represent
of
homes
talked
about
well,
in
also
on
the
public
side,
express
what
where
the
numbers
are
as
far
as
contracting
and
on
the
private
side,
as
best
we
can
on
bij
P
will
be
out
of
Worcester
jobs
policy.
People
of
color
will
be
working,
giving
all
that
information
to
the
NAC
P
so,
as
their
executive
counsel
talks
about
what
the
issues
to
talk
about
that.
B
Obviously
we
have
shortfalls
in
the
city
on
a
lot
of
those
issues,
so
we
can
work
with
it
with
with
the
convention
with
the
delegates
to
talk
about
how
we
improve
the
quality.
How
do
we
improve
homeownership,
probably
improve
collaboration?
How
do
we
improve
diversity?
How
we
improve
all
those
things?
That's
what
we
plan
on
this
weekend
actually
can
John
bars.
His
team
is
working
on.
J
Unfortunately,
we
are
out
of
time
for
today,
but
we
thank
you
all
for
coming
before
we
close
I
am
going
to
ask
Bishop
Jonathan
orders
recording
star
Baptist
Church
to
come
and
provide
a
benediction
in
the
tradition
of
our
civil
rights
movement
and
also
I
want
to
encourage
each
of
you.
We
do
have
a
membership
table
to
my
right.
If
you're,
not
a
member,
there's
an
opportunity
to
become
a
member
today,
Bishop.
G
There
are
many
members
of
the
clergy
who
were
here
and
the
clergy.
The
faith
community
will
continue
to
be
the
conscience
for
the
poor
and
the
TD
and
for
reconciliation
throughout
this
convention
and
beyond.
We
believe
it's
God's
will
and
an
intention
for
us
to
work
together
at
this
time.
On
a
whole
new
level,
may
the
grace
of
God
made
a
sweet
commune
of
the
Holy
Spirit
may
God's
favor
and
mighty
hand
rest
upon
all
the
concerns
that
we
have
collectively
ask
people
in
this
country.
