Controversial Boston Holiday Party Invitation Sparks Mayor's Defense

TL;DR Summary
Controversy arises in Boston after an email invite for the "Electeds of Color Holiday Party" is mistakenly sent to the entire Boston City Council instead of just elected leaders of color. Some councilors criticize the divisive nature of the invite, while others defend it as a space for shared experiences. Mayor Michelle Wu attributes the mistake to an honest error, but Councilor Frank Baker sees it as indicative of racial divisions within City Hall. The excluded councilors either declined to comment or did not respond.
