Summary
Boston is known as a progressive city, but it's also notorious for being one of the most racist cities in the United States. Julio, who's lived in Boston for over 30 years, breaks it down with former mayoral candidate Tito Jackson, Boston Globe reporter Nicole Dungca and artist/activist Eroc Arroyo-Montano. How has Boston's racism impacted the city's POC community—from healthcare to the Red Sox? But before we get into that conversation, Maria and Julio discuss the latest news: Rex Tillerson getting fired by President Trump and Russia, Russia, Russia.
