Summer 2020 will be forever marked by COVID-19 and the Black Lives Matter protests throughout the world. In Boston the peaceful BLM protests during the day were taken over by a different element, a destructive force, in the night. The center of our city was burned and looted in mass confusion and chaos. Business owners rushed to board up windows and even put signs up in support of BLM, both for reasons of genuine support and out of fear.
