In 1630-1640 Boston Lincolnshire England, a town 120 miles from London, sent over 10% of its Puritan religious population to Boston. Unwilling Blacks arrived in Boston in 1638 aboard a ship named "Desire." Boston residents number about 600,000 today.

from the lawn at the National Center for Afro-Artist site in BostonThe National Center for Afro American Artists Museum Store in Boston offers many items for sale incuding prints and exhibition books. Since 1969, the National Center of Afro-American Artists and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, have enjoyed a unique collaboration that has been mutually beneficial, and has greatly assisted in the development of the NCAAA's museum.

Congrats to all complimentary Fred Wesley and Berklee James Brown Band concert tix contest winners. An employee of the Adoption & Foster Care Mentoring, Inc. was one of the winners!

She said "Everything went great, it was a really amazing concert and I am so thankful for that opportunity. It really reminded me of the musical talent that is available to experience in Boston!"
AFC Mentoring empowers foster and adopted youth to flourish through committed mentoring relationships.

Black Computer Science Genuis says.. "the people of Africa must take note that the Internet is our MODERN-DAY COMPASS. [read why] and within it resides our own clay of wisdom. As we prepare for our great journey into the cyberspace of the future, with its technological promise — its clay of wisdom — we must understand the strategic value and potential of this all-important tool. Our image of the future to create the future..."[talk back] writes Dr. Philip Emeagwali, “one of the great minds of the Information Age” and “the Bill Gates of Africa.” (in photo to your right)

...like this one posted on WSJ.COM in January
"Government action is not the whole answer to the present crisis, but it is an important partial answer. Morals cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. The law cannot make an employer love me, but it can keep him from refusing to hire me because of the color of my skin." Martin Luther King.

Black Boston Politics
Deval Patrick is THE FIRST African American Governor of Massachusetts. (Boston black politics page)

His Job Description: Governor Patrick is head of the executive branch and serves as chief administrative officer of the state and as commander-in-chief of the Massachusetts' military forces. His or her responsibilities include preparation of the annual budget, nomination of all judicial officers, the granting of pardons (with the approval of the governor's Council), appointments of the heads of most major state departments, and the acceptance or veto of each bill passed by the Legislature. Several Executive Offices have also been established, each headed by a Secretary appointed by the Governor, much like the president's Cabinet.

The Governor may recommend new policies for Massachusetts, new legislation, and changes in the administration of departments that conduct the government from day to day. He or she has the power to order out the National Guard to meet domestic emergencies, and is Massachusetts chief spokesman with the federal government.
