Controversy Erupts Over Boston Mayor's Exclusive 'Electeds of Color' Holiday Party Invitation

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu acknowledged a mistake in sending an invitation to a holiday party meant for elected officials of color to officials who did not fit that description. Wu, the first woman and person of color elected as mayor of Boston, explained that she was selected to host an annual gathering for elected officials of color. She apologized for the error and clarified that there will be a separate event for "electeds of color" and another holiday party for all elected officials and members of her cabinet.
