BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh appointed a new equity czar to oversee inequality issues at City Hall Monday.
Dr. Karilyn Crockett will run the city’s new equity cabinet and work to dismantle systemic racism in Boston, Walsh said. Crockett will also work to support immigrants and women, and increase access to health care.
“She understands the root of racial inequality and the tools we need to break it down,” Walsh said. “She’s passionate about the strength that exists in our community to lead the work when systemic barriers are removed.”
