Thousands gather in Boston’s Seaport for Boston While Black Family Reunion
They traveled, some with lawn chairs in tow, for a day of family, community, and Black joy.
Their destination on Saturday was the Boston While Black Family Reunion, a free event that drew thousands to the Seaport, a neighborhood with a reputation for being one of Boston’s whitest and most expensive.
“It’s about Black community coming together. This collective energy, you can’t find really nowhere else in the city of Boston,” said Jumaane Kendrick, a Roxbury resident who works for the youth organization MissionSAFE.
