Young People Rising
By civilrectitude - 5/6/10 - 11:16 pmRecently I had a brief conversation with a young man and woman in a festive setting. Loud urban hip hop music was playing in the background; while clusters of people in their mid to late twenties, occupied a portion of the yard space where I grew up celebrating similar festive events. From birthday parties to cookouts, this place has always been a gathering space where good friends and family come together to enjoy each others company- and learn from one another.
As things were settling down around 11:00on a Thursday night, I made a brief announcement to the women among the some thirty odd people, about a Young Black Women's Society event on Saturday- recommending that they attend. One young man exclaimed, "Can I go?" I replied, absolutely you can go, and you should go, you might learn something about how to truly treat a woman right. While my response was stated somewhat jokingly, there is a little truth in jest. His lady friend chided him implying that he just might learn something, as well. He conceded in his remarks acknowledging what was likely to be partial reality relative to the conversation.

Nametag Project Needs Volunteers at Fenway
By Abby - 7/6/07 - 5:08 pmThis is something I got from Joseph Porcelli in Jamaica Plain. He's the organizer for the Nametag Project:
Dear Friends,
Nametag Day at Fenway Park will be on Sunday July, 15. Our goal is to distribute 40,000 nametags to those attending the game and passersby. We are doing this to encourage people to get to know their neighbors, to talk to each other, and because it's a freakin' cool idea, nobody has done it yet, and will be a blast.
