Celebrating "Independence Weekend"​

​

This year, Black communities around the nation are commemorating the 400th anniversary since the first African stepped onto the shores of the United States as an enslaved person. "Independence Weekend" is a nod to this history and meant to serve as recognition of the fact Massachusetts stakeholders and institutional decision-makers must be intentional about working with Black communities and businesses to gain true independence and build up the economic health of all residents and contributors.
