BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — Boston Mayor Marty Walsh is hosting a virtual prayer vigil with members of the clergy in response to the recent "acts of violence and racism experienced throughout the United States."
The vigil comes after a night of nationwide protests over the killing of a black man, George Floyd, by a white Minnesota police officer, Derek Chauvin, on Memorial Day. Chauvin was taken into custody on Friday and now faces several charges.
