As Chairman of the Brookline Community Foundation, I have had a lot of pleasures and experiences in seven years of work with BCF. But I have been totally humbled to watch the community respond to the call for help in "greening" our beautiful (but previously quite drafty) old building at 40 Webster Place.
Horror, Humility & Pride in Brookline
Today I attended a very special dedication ceremony wherein the “Hidden Brookline Committee” unveiled an engraving to honor and remember previously unrecognized African-American slaves buried in the Old Burying Ground, a historic section of Brookline’s Walnut Hill Cemetery. With about 200 other locals and guests, I found myself filled with humility, facing up to the horrors that took place within our town and country, and proud to be living in a community that would pull back the comfortable veil of ignorance and embrace the difficult lessons of our history.
