So today was the first Massachusetts Club meeting this year on campus. I finally got to meet the handful of other people from my state that actually go to Howard! When people ask me where I'm from and I tell them MA they usually have some smart comment regarding the fact that they didn't know that black people stayed in Boston. Huh??? That's the most ignorant statement I've ever heard. I guess it's just me that assumes that black people are EVERYWHERE.
That being said, I met people from Dorchester, Mattapan, Roxbury, Hyde Park, Cambridge, Northampton, Mansfield, even Cape Cod. Putting it simply, there are kids from all over MA but when you compare the amount of us to the amount of students from places like Jersey, Cali, or NY we get lost in translation. I'm happy that the club finally had the meeting because I was honestly starting to think that we didn't have our own club since there isn't that many of us on campus LOL. Anyways...here are some pictures from the Celtics parade in Boston after we won the NBA Championship Series.
and all of you from MA should recognize the following picture:
Jason,
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work, and have fun during the process.
Here is one for you. There are blacks in Boston as much as Palestinians or Arabs in Israel!! Talk to you later,
