EMBRACE BOSTON
Embrace Boston is a nonprofit organization focused on advancing racial equity and justice through arts, culture, community engagement, research, and policy reform. Established in 2017 as King Boston and becoming independent in 2024, it is known for creating The Embrace, a significant bronze memorial on Boston Common honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King. The organization promotes a "beloved community" by addressing structural racism through various initiatives. These include arts and cultural projects like The Embrace Memorial and the Wrap Art Commission, which features works by BIPOC artists. Embrace Boston also produces the Good Trouble Podcast, highlighting local social justice movements. Additionally, it conducts equity studies and hosts conferences focused on racial inequality and policy reform. Future plans include establishing a National Embrace Center in Roxbury to serve as a cultural hub for the Black community in Boston.
