Here is an image captured by Katya Zykina during one of the photo calls at today’s #NAACP event. There are so many talented performers in this shot: Keith Mascoll; Andrea Lyman; Gilda James; Naheem Garcia; Vihann Kong; Rob DiNinni; and Janice Pendarvis, whose hand I am holding. ❤️
Many thanks to the 114th NAACP National Convention for hosting today’s press event and subsequent Labor Luncheon & Symposium in support of unionized labor and the #SAGAFTRAstrike. 🪧
How exciting to be at the final morning of the 114th #NAACP National Convention! This year’s theme, Thriving Together, was brilliantly presented by multiple speakers at today’s press event in support of the #SAGAFTRAstrike. Thank you! 🪧
Following the presser: the ticketed Labor Luncheon & Symposium. Speakers include union and labor leaders who continue the fight for the future of Black workers — like #actor Alfre Woodard! ❤️ » https://naacp.org/convention
Ask any Black Bostonian, anyone who has studied racial justice or tried to push for change in this city, and they’ll say, yes, Boston’s racist — but it’s changing, thanks to Black and brown activists and now leaders in gov’t and business.
They hope NAACP convention attendees go home and recognize the work being done here and that yes, Black people do exist in Boston.
