KSA Belonging in Kendall Film Series: History of Race in Boston

KSA Belonging in Kendall Film Series: HBO’s Murder in Boston: Roots, Rampage & Reckoning, Episode 1

Wednesday, May 8, 2024, 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

MIT Welcome Center

Join the KSA and former Boston City Councillor Tito Jackson at the MIT Welcome Center for a screening of this film, a conversation, and refreshments as we take a close look at the history of race relations in Boston in the 1980s. The first in a series, this film explores the complex history of race-based hostilities in Boston against the backdrop of the 1989 case of Charles Stuart, whose frantic 911 call reporting that he and his wife — a white couple — had been shot by a Black man, ignited a firestorm. 

The Belonging in Kendall Film Series is sponsored by Ipsen and Draper Labs.
