Boston Mayor Michelle Wu recently threw a party that stirred up a lot of controversy and criticism. However, last Thursday, the mayor stood by her decision to host a holiday party for elected city council members who are people of color.

The race-based party was discovered after an aide mistakenly sent invitations to everyone, including the seven white members.
“It is my intention that we can, again, be a city that lives our values and create space for all kinds of communities to come together,” Mayor Wu explained her decision. However, her exclusive party seems to contradict her statement. She posted a photo from the party, bragging about breaking down barriers.
However, only people of color were seen in the picture. “Not too long ago in Boston, we didn’t need such a big table to fit electeds of color. But over my time as a City Councilor and now Mayor, following so many leaders who have paved the way, I’ve proudly watched this group grow and create space for mentorship and fellowship among many who are breaking down barriers while holding the weight of being the first or only,” she wrote in the caption.
