Spotlight: Race and Power in Boston

The Boston Literary District and GrubStreet are pleased to present “Spotlight: Race and Power in Boston.”

In a highly publicized seven-part series published in late 2017, the Boston Globe’s Spotlight Team dug into one of the city’s most pervasive and troubling issues: the marginalization of the black community. The series exposed the insidious impact of racism on all levels of city life from housing to healthcare to education. In “Spotlight: Race and Power in Boston” the Boston Literary District and GrubStreet invite the story’s writers, ADRIAN WALKER, PATRICIA WEN, and ANDREW RYAN, to the stage where they will share their reporting, what didn’t make it into print, and engage with the audience on these pressing issues that strike at the core of the city’s identity. This talk will be moderated by LATOYIA EDWARDS, Emmy-award winning morning anchor and host of THIS IS NEW ENGLAND, NBC10 Boston.

“Spotlight: Race and Power in Boston” takes place at the Boston Park Plaza in the Arlington Room (Mezzanine Level) and is free and open to the public. No pre-registration is necessary, though seating is limited so plan to arrive early.
