The most significant thing is change. Never in my lifetime did I think I would see a black man nominated as the Democratic frontrunner. I’m grateful to be able to witness it. | Thaddeus Sandridge Construction Inspector/MBTA Dorchester |

The world’s ready for this. | Debra Wade Homemaker Dorchester |
