Upcoming Events
The Mystic Valley Area NAACP is joining the ACLU of MA, Embrace Boston, and the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts for a unity gathering recognizing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

This gathering, inspired by the title of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s final book, will take place on Friday, January 17th, from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM, at the Parkman Bandstand on the Boston Common. The event honors Dr. King’s legacy, coinciding with the Presidential Inauguration, and seeks to bring together elected leaders and community partners to reaffirm our collective commitment to justice, equity, and unity—echoing Dr. King’s enduring pursuits in the face of adversity.

Chain of Change: Struggles for Black Community Development
SAVE THE DATES!
“The Mel King Institute is proud to announce our exciting statewide initiative in which we will (re)visit Mel King’s 1981 title, Chain of Change: Struggles For Black Community Development.”
Join the branch in the statewide read and meet with us in person to for guided book discussions.
Where: Fox Branch- Arlington Library, 175 Massachusetts Ave
When: Thursday evenings, January 16 and 30, and February 13.
Originally published in 1981, Chain of Change was re-released in 2016, and remains pertinent today. We hope that by studying Chain of Change together, we can learn from Mel King’s wisdom about how to keep creating, keep defending, and keep nurturing the communities built on love and respect that we all deserve.
“There is no greater leader than Mel King for our movement, from protecting displacement in the South End and organizing that led to the forming of Tent City, to working in coalition to define Community.”
If would like to participate or want more information, reach out to Gordon McIntosh at gordon.mcintosh@verizon.net.
There is a limited number of free copies of the book available. Please contact Jennifer Yanco to request a copy at jjyanco@gmail.com.
