Today we raised the Italian flag at City Hall, marking the 10th year of doing so since first spearheaded, and continued today by Councilor Coletta Zapata. Thanks to the @eliotk8school students who joined us and sang beautifully as we marked the many contributions of Italian-Americans to our city. 🇮🇹

Today we proudly celebrated the 65th Nigerian Independence Day 🇳🇬✨ at City Hall, honoring Nigeria’s culture, history & contributions in Boston. Grateful to join colleagues & community, and to celebrate Paul’s release, reminding us of the work ahead for dignity & justice for all.
A large group of approximately 100-150 people gathered on a brick plaza in front of modern urban buildings, including office towers with glass facades. The crowd spans multiple generations, from children to older adults. Many attendees wear clothing incorporating green and white colors, and several people hold small flags. The group appears to be attending a community celebration or cultural event in what looks like a city center or civic plaza. The Nigerian flag - featuring vertical stripes of green, white, and green - waves in the foreground with “BOSTON CITY HALL” text visible on a concrete building in the background. The flag is mounted on a pole against  a clear sky. An outdoor speaking event with Ruthzee in a bright green blazer standing at a wooden podium bearing an official city seal, holding a microphone and a small green and white flag. Behind the speaker, several people stand near a brick wall with modern buildings in the background. In the foreground (slightly out of focus) is what appears to be a traditional decorated gourd or shekere instrument. Traditional drums are visible to the right of the podium. Three people stand together outdoors for a group photo. The person in the center, Ruthzee, wears a bright green blazer over a black and white patterned outfit. To the left is someone in a black jacket, and to the right is someone wearing sunglasses and a colorful traditional African print garment featuring green, gold, and black patterns. All three are smiling, with storefronts visible in the softly focused background.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
