Criminal Justice Task Force Publishes First Boston Narrative in Series
The Criminal Justice Task Force, part of Northeastern Law’s Center for Law, Equity and Race (CLEAR), has launched the Historical Narrative Project, which aims to inform community members and stakeholders about the role race has played in the history and economic development of Massachusetts. The first paper in the series, “Faneuil Hall: The Monument of Peter Faneuil’s Legacy and a Catalyst for Change,” was written by Alicia Chouinard ’21, a member of the Criminal Justice Task Force and an associate with Tucker, Dyer & O’Connell.
“Alicia’s paper tackles the challenges of embracing what we love about Boston while also recognizing the complexities of race and discrimination in our city’s history,” said Professor Deborah Ramirez, head of the Criminal Justice Task Force and co-faculty director of CLEAR, who noted that the project plans to publish a series of papers on topics including school desegregation in Boston, Boston’s connections to slavery and the Charles Stuart case, among others.
