Throughout his career, artist John Wilson was inspired to capture the faces of his community: Black people who lived in Roxbury. He chose to do figurative paintings, drawings and sculptures, rather than abstract work, because he was determined  that Black people should be seen in the fullness of their humanity. That was the overall theme of his work, which is now in an exhibit at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts – “Witnessing Humanity: The Art of John Wilson.” Callie speaks with a curator and a John Wilson collector to learn more about Wilson's work.

Lav wanted a Night at the Roxbury night

A few months back, Sasha Purpura from Daily Table in Boston joined the show to talk about the non-profit grocery store's mission: team up with local suppliers and farmers to ensure everyone has access to low-cost, healthy food. Some surprising news has developed: the board of Daily Table announced recently it was closing down all operations within a matter of days, a move that shocked advocates, community leaders, and residents. Sasha returns to the show to talk about what happened and share resources for those who are food insecure in Massachusetts.

The organization opened its first store, in Dorchester, in 2015. It then expanded to Roxbury, Mattapan, Salem and Cambridge. Leaders say even though need is on the rise, it had to shut down abruptly due to federal funding cuts, high food prices and a drop in charitable donations.

On the night of October 23, 1989, Charles and Carol Stuart were returning home from a childbirth class and drove through the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston. According to Charles Stuart, they were stopped at a red light when a black teenager forced the driver's door open and robbed the couple, then shot Charles and Carol before running off. Charles managed to call 911 from his car phone, but by the time emergency responders arrived, Carol was in a very bad state and would die a few hours later at a nearby hospital.The murder of Carol Stuart captured the attention of residents in and around Boston, and the story remained on the front pages in the weeks that followed. On one hand, it was a tragic story of a young couple on the verge of starting a family who were robbed of a future. On the other hand, it shined a bright spotlight on the city's long-simmer racial tensions and the unequal treatment and application of law enforcement with regard to race. And those tensions would be significantly exacerbated when the truth about Carol Stuart's murder was finally discovered.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesBrelis, Matthew. 1989.

Send us a textDarryl "God" Whiting ran a 100+ member drug gang out of the Orchard Park public housing project in the early 90's. The operation is said to have overseen a 24hr a day crack distribution business, that wrought havoc in Roxbury. He was celebrated as a local hero, while simultaneously decimating the entire neighborhood. Darryl also had legitimate businesses and a thriving "Social Club" in Grove Hall, however it was merely a front for selling drugs. "God's" reign lasted about 4-5 years, making at times $100,000 a day. The organization was ultimately penetrated by a maverick undercover Boston Housing police officer Jeff Coy. Coy and other cops brought the "New York Boys" down and the prison sentences were legendary. Darry Whiting received a life sentence for leading this sprawling criminal organization. The housing development was largely ruined by Whiting's organization.

Little self-published booklets known as 'zines' have long been a staple of DIY and counter-culture movements. They have deep roots in underground music scenes like punk. Today, zines are having a renaissance, with more DIY-ers returning to the medium to spread information and stories - as well as to avoid increased censorship. The Common recently visited the Boston Public Library's Jamaica Plain branch to check out the BPL's zine collection with children's librarian and local punk drummer, Chris Strunk.

El grupo de niños jugaba muy alegre. David Bertolotto, instructor de natación que tenía diecisiete años de edad, estaba dando la clase a catorce estudiantes que tenían entre cuatro y seis años de edad. Era una piscina cubierta de una Asociación de Jóvenes en Roxbury, Massachussets, Estados Unidos. En plena clase, un crujido siniestro los hizo mirar hacia arriba. El techo de cemento, a quince metros de altura, comenzó a desplomarse. David elevó una oración rapidísima: «¡Señor, ayúdanos!», y frenéticamente empezó a sacar niños de la piscina y del edificio. Cuando hubo retirado al último, el techo cayó del todo. Un trozo de cemento le pegó a David en un lado del cráneo. No lo mató, pero le desgarró parte del cuero cabelludo. «Cuando se hunde el piso o se desploma el techo —dijo David en el hospital—, lo mejor es clamar de inmediato a Dios.» David tenía toda la razón. Había obtenido empleo temporal como instructor de natación de niños pequeños en esa institución. En la primera sesión había ocurrido lo inesperado. Y en ese momento terrible, su fe en Dios le había hecho, primeramente, clamar a Dios en forma instantánea, y luego disponerse animosamente al trabajo del rescate. Así salvó la vida de todos los niños. ¿Qué podemos hacer cuando el techo se nos viene encima? No el techo de un edificio sino el de nuestra vida: nuestra situación económica, nuestra condición familiar, nuestra salud, nuestras emociones. Cuando todo parece desplomarse y venírsenos encima, ¿qué podemos hacer? Algunos salen corriendo desesperadamente, tratando de huir de la situación. Otros se sumergen en un lago de alcohol, tratando de no pensar. Otros se dan a los estupefacientes para insensibilizarse. Y otros se encierran en su problema y no tienen nada que ver con nadie. Pero nada de esto resuelve el problema. Al contrario, lo empeora. La solución es hacer lo que hizo David Bertolotto: clamar a Cristo, fuente viva de toda ayuda, todo socorro y toda respuesta. Es fácil acudir a Cristo en cualquier emergencia de la vida cuando Cristo es nuestro amigo de todos los días, es decir, cuando vivimos acostumbrados a la oración. ¿Cómo logramos eso? Buscando su amistad, entregándole nuestra voluntad, nuestro afecto y nuestra confianza. No es difícil; Cristo nos está esperando. Hermano PabloUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net
