The Bay State Banner issue of January 15, 2026, devoted a Special Section to commentary honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We found the essays below of particular interest.
Note that he Bay State Banner is a weekly newspaper primarily geared toward the readership interests of the African-American community in Boston, Massachusetts. Distributed free of charge, it was founded in 1965. Notable journalists who have worked at The Bay State Banner include PBS host Gwen Ifill and NPR commentator Robin Washington. Bryant Rollins, a former reporter for The Boston Globe and a community activist and author, served as the Banner's first editor.
