'199 years is long enough': Kim Janey becomes Boston's first Black and first female mayor

Fifty-four white men have led Boston since it was incorporated as a city in 1822, but that all changed this week

Earlier this week, Kim Janey, the first woman and Black person to lead the city of Boston, became acting mayor.

She was sworn in by the first Black woman to lead Massachusetts' highest court, Kimberly Budd, and the first Black Massachusetts congresswoman, Ayanna Pressley.
