In Nubian Square, Black Bostonians Exhale After Chauvin Verdict, But Fear Unjust Police Killings Will Happen Again

The guilty verdict in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was greeted with relief and a bit of surprise by some in Roxbury, one of Boston’s largest Black communities.
On the surface it was just another day in Nubian Square. Commuters lined up at buses, several men were selling loose cigarettes to make ends meet, and a group of half masked men congregated on a corner talking about a day they thought they would never see a white policeman convicted of murdering an unarmed Black man. For Benny Turner, the Chauvin verdict made April 20, 2021 anything but just another day.

Judy wishes for a simpler time. A time of hats and ties and rotary dial telephones. A time when a wife greets her husband with a martini and a pair of slippers.
Just be careful what you wish for.
