    These last few weeks have been nothing short of mesmerizing for Boston from the Inside. I had the opportunity to meet, photograph, chat, interact with dozens of people while wearing out the soles of my shoes finding interesting people and places to feature on Facebook and Instagram. Each person and experience welcome a different dimension of learning and understanding, and I'm happy I was present during a low key rally in front of the now-missing Christopher Columbus statue located on Boston's Waterfront. Questions were asked. Answers were given. Some folks responded on Facebook and things got a bit ugly, but I now have an opportunity to delve deeply into the experiences of that day with you on this episode. This is my chance to expand on the photos, videos, and articles that are posted daily. I hope you'll listen, like and share!

    I'm driving into Boston to volunteer on MLK, Jr. Day at Excel High School on Telegraph Hill in South Boston, and it dawned on me that this high school was where the South Boston Busing Riots of 1974 happened. I also drove by the Old Colony Projects, and coincidentally I had just finished reading the book "All Souls: A Family Story from Southie" by Michael Patrick MacDonald and so many of the stories in that wonderful book took place here. This podcast expands on that day and the thoughts that ran through my head.
