WHY GREATEST MINDS - A GATHERING of BLACK BOSTONIANS?

For years, Boston has struggled with its image as a city unfriendly to its African-American residents. Along with the image goes the fact that Boston has very little black representation in politics and in the ranks of senior management, or civic life in general.
Historically, black professionals have come (or returned) to Boston to work, only to leave within a couple of years.

NBCA’s NEXT GENERATION is helping young black individuals who want to get civically active, roll up their sleeves and get a piece of the PIE!

Tickets are $25.00 in advance.
