Roots

Mon, Dec 4, 202354 mins

The shocking shooting of a white couple at the hands of an alleged Black assailant makes headlines and Boston's facade as a progressive city begins to slip as its unsavory legacy of racial violence and segregation again comes to the fore. Tensions escalate as police descend upon the Black community, arresting their first suspect, a Black man in Mission Hill whose possession of an Adidas tracksuit puts him in their crosshairs.
