Wonderful coverage of events throughout the city this week. I particularly like the coverage of Bruce Bolling Sr., former President of the Boston City Council. Beautiful photos of the service for Bruce Bolling. He was a true champion for the community, the small business entrepreneur, women and people of color. A great voice has been silenced too soon. May God continue to bless his family and may Bruce Rest in Peace. |
