✨ Some gatherings stay with you—not just in your memory, but in your spirit. ✨
What we shared together did not happen by accident. It happened because people showed up—with care, commitment, and love for community. This year’s message, “If We Don’t Quit,” reminded us that progress is possible when we stay connected and keep going.
With deep gratitude to Terry Carter, our inspiring guest speaker Dr. Sara Naomi Bleich, our incredible event team, our Board of Directors, Tufts University Community Relations, Mystic Valley Area NAACP, and everyone whose generosity keeps this celebration free and accessible to all.
We were especially moved by Jillian Harvey’s call to action: talk with people, get to know your neighbors, stay connected. Change begins right where we are—in our conversations and how we show up for one another.
As Dr. King reminded us, “The end is the creation of the beloved community.” And beloved community isn’t something we wait for—it’s something we practice every day. If we don’t quit, it’s possible.
