Boston’s “memory keeper,” Imari Paris Jeffries, calls for more than reflection on this year’s Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Through Embrace Boston, Jeffries highlights how the holiday serves as both a time to honor Dr. King’s memory and a call to address ongoing social and political challenges in Massachusetts.

Veterans Day highlights how essential veterans are to the wellbeing of our communities. It also reminds us that there is always more we can and should do to honor their service.
