Mayor Shows off Photo From ‘Electeds of Color,’ ‘No Whites’ Holiday Party After Defending Gathering
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu proudly shared a photo of the controversial “electeds of color” holiday party she hosted on Wednesday, showcasing all the smiling government officials of minority backgrounds at the “no whites” gathering.
“Last night was my turn to host the annual holiday dinner for Boston’s elected officials of color—a special moment to appreciate that our affinity group now includes leadership across city, state, county, and federal offices,” Wu wrote in a caption alongside the photo on Instagram.
Wu, 38, came under fire earlier this week when her director of City Council Relations Denise DosSantos emailed the party’s exclusive invitation to all members of the City Council instead of only the “electeds of color.”
Boston’s City Council is comprised of six minority and seven white members, who were not the intended targets of the email.
The aide realized her mistake approximately fifteen minutes after the message and sent a follow-up email to the white council members who received the invitation by mistake. (Read more from “Mayor Shows off Photo From ‘Electeds of Color,’ ‘No Whites’ Holiday Party After Defending Gathering” HERE)
