Congratulations Ms Campbell !!!! As a white woman who grew up in Boston and southern suburbs until the age of 20, I witnessed far more racial, and gender, discrimination than I care to remember . I'm ecstatic to hear of your win, and I hope this is a sign that the discrimination I witnessed in Boston has been eradicated at best, or at least greatly reduced
