A shooting in 1989 would go on to define so much about Boston: its identity, its politics, its problems.
But the story behind it — of Mission Hill and the Stuart case — hasn't been fully told. Until now.
Our new series is up today. Read it here. trib.al/UpLcGIr
If you've seen mention of the @HBO/ @BostonGlobe collaboration about the Stuart Case, here is another element of the story that I don't believe is in their report: My exclusive interview with William Bennett for the @BayStateBanner in 1993.

Thanks to @princeeditor for allowing me the opportunity to present the @afronews' extraordinary anthology of Black war correspondents in World War II. It was their war, too.

Thank you Rabbi Lynn for sharing your story. @jdforward
Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb of Berkeley — one of the first women ordained as a rabbi in the U.S. reflects on her activist career — with no regrets.
By @robinbirk interviewed her in @jdforward as she celebrates 50 years in the rabbinate:

Here is the posting (sans audio) of the program with @scribblesonnapk about battery buses. The audio will be added on Tuesday.
I was interviewed by @robinbirk about the study describing the battery bus drawbacks last week. Now just days after that aired we have yet another Proterra battery electric bus fire.
Keep in mind this model was not fitted with the diesel heaters Duluth uses.

It was great to talk with @robinbirk ... and to be quoted in his column in @jdforward about the possibilities and perils of @Wikipedia forward.com/opinion/552514/t…
