Controversial Boston City Hall Holiday Party Sparks Debate over Exclusionary Invitations

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Boston Herald

An email invitation for a holiday party exclusively for "electeds of color" sent to all Boston city councilors by a Wu administration official on behalf of Mayor Michelle Wu has sparked mixed reactions. The official later apologized for the mistake, but some councilors expressed disappointment and described the decision as divisive. Others defended the invite, stating that it was about creating spaces for like-minded individuals to connect and support each other. The exclusivity of the party is not typical of past administrations, and the incident has raised concerns about race relations in Boston.
