Controversy Surrounds Boston Mayor's 'Electeds of Color' Holiday Party Invitation

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu referred to the invitation of a holiday party for elected officials of color, mistakenly sent to the entire city council, as an "honest mistake." The invite was intended for the six minority members of the council but was accidentally sent to all councilors. While some criticized the party as divisive, others defended it as a space for communities with shared experiences. The party proceeded as planned.
