Associate Justice of the Mass. Superior Court Angel Kelley will join the Chelsea Black Community (CBC) in a virtual conversation tonight (Thursday) at 6 p.m.
The topic of the event will be “Injustice Everywhere Is A Threat To Justice Everywhere.”
CBC President Joan Cromwell invites Chelsea residents to participate in the special conversation with Kelley, an eminent legal scholar, about the Massachusetts criminal justice system.
Last week’s CBC event was a virtual discussion following the short film, “Assumptions and Stereotypes.”
Chelsea resident Khalil Saddiq, a racial equity consultant for non-profit organizations, did a superb job generating opinions about the film and engaging residents in a conversation about incidents they had experienced in their lives.
Chelsea Black Community (CBC) President Joan Cromwell has announced the recipients of the Black History Month Chelsea Trailblazer Awards.
This year the CBC is recognizing community leaders and local organizations for their important contributions and vital response to the COVID-19 pandemic and racial injustice.
The prestigious awards will be presented at a virtual tribute Feb. 24 at 6 p.m.
The ongoing pandemic forced the CBC planning committee to hold events virtually as opposed to in person this year. In the past the CBC has held a community dinner for residents in need at a local church. The Trailblazer Award celebration has served as a tremendous finale to the month-long observance. Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, City Manager Tom Ambrosino, and Councilors Leo Robinson and Calvin Brown have led a slate of dignitaries that have attended CBC events and honored the community.
