Parole: An inside look - “Don’t Judge Me” full documentary GBH News 2024-06-04 | What’s it like to go to jail at age 16 and then – 12 years later – return home?Onyx White - an aspiring rapper and music business student at Roxbury Community College - takes viewers along on that journey as he seeks to make a life in the Boston, MA neighborhood where he grew up one of 10 children. “When I first came home, I was lost– and I was born and raised out here,” he said.Viewers get an intimate view of White’s life as he works to launch a music career, find stable housing and – most importantly – avoid the parole violations that land many returning citizens back in jail. “The scary thing about parole is I don’t have to do a crime to go back to jail - being around the wrong people or they can think I’m around the wrong person. You violate, you’re going to the maximum security,” he said.White has a curfew and is monitored around the clock via an electronic ankle bracelet. According to Massachusetts parole officials,1,342 individuals lived on active supervision by parole as of April 2024, and 447 of them lived in the community with GPS monitoring. Individuals wearing ankle monitors need to display “a sustained pattern of success in the community” in order to have their bracelet removed. As White put it, “on one side I’m attached to chains, on the other side I’m reaching and trying to fight to get to this goal.”White went to jail in 2010 after he was arrested in the murder of 71-year-old Geraldo Serrano, a beloved convenience store clerk in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood. White was 16 years old at the time of the shooting. Due to a protracted legal dispute over evidence taken from his cellphone that went all the way to Massachusetts Supreme Court, he was incarcerated for seven years before his case went to trial in 2017.During that time, White says a childhood passion for hip-hop grew into an escape and a source of strength.“Without me writing while I was locked up, I think it probably would have institutionalized me a little bit more,” he said. “It gave me a chance to sit still and see things in a different perspective.”He ended up taking a plea deal that allowed him to be released from prison at 28, placing him among some 1700 people with criminal convictions released from Massachusetts prisons in 2022. Their experiences – rarely told and often hidden from public view – are the focus of the GBH News reporting project Life After Prison. This video is part of that series.GBH News spoke with one of Geraldo Serrano’s relatives who requested anonymity but said the family bears White no ill will: “He needs another chance … he’s learning from his mistakes.” Don’t Judge Me is the title of this short documentary and the name of a song White wrote when he was facing life in prison. In the film, he performs the song with Boston-Based choral artists collective Voices 21C.

After 20 years of marriage equality, Massachusetts LGBTQ+ community is still fighting GBH News 2024-05-21 | 20 years ago, Massachusetts became the first state in the nation to legalize same-sex marriage. Seven couples, represented by Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders or GLAD (Now known as GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders), sued the state in a case that made it all the way to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, which ruled in the couples' favor. The decision took effect on May 17, 2004 and paved the way for marriage equality across the country. To discuss the case and the ongoing fight for LBGTQ+ rights, Crystal Haynes was joined by Arline Isaacson, who led lobbying for the marriage ruling in the early 2000s, and Ben Klein, GLAD’s senior director of litigation and HIV law. 0:00 1:08 The road to the Goodridge decision3:05 The fight to NOT vote on marriage equality4:10 Challenges to the decision5:48 Fmr.

NYTs Nicholas Kristofs new book is a love letter to journalism GBH News 2024-05-17 | New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof is one of the best-known journalists working today. For four decades, he's has been on the ground in dozens of countries, covering a dizzying array of stories and earning high marks for his work. In 1990, Kristof and his wife, Sheryl WuDunn, won the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting for their coverage of the rise and fall of China's pro-democracy movement. In 2006, Kristof won another Pulitzer — this time for commentary, for his columns on genocidal violence in Darfur.In a brand-new memoir, “Chasing Hope: A Reporter’s Life,” Kristof offers an in-depth chronicle of his journalistic career, which began in earnest when he was still a high schooler living in Yamhill, Oregon — a town whose subsequent deterioration has been experienced by countless other communities across the country. Kristof also explores the tension between the traditional journalistic norms of objectivity and detachment and the powerful sense of moral purpose that he and many other journalists bring to their work.And he sizes up his ill-fated run for governor of Oregon, which ended in 2022 when he was deemed ineligible under the state's residency requirements. Among other things, the experience led Kristof to draw some provocative conclusions about the limitations of present-day progressivism.In this episode of Talking Politics, Kristof discusses these and other topics — including the challenge that covering Donald Trump still poses for the press — with host Adam Reilly.GBH News is a premier source for in-depth local news and original story telling based in Boston, Massachusetts.

A look back to 20 years ago, when the first same-sex marriages took place in Massachusetts GBH News 2024-05-17 | Today we recognize the 20th anniversary of marriage equality in Massachusetts.
May 17, 2004: What was it like on the day same-sex marriage became legal in Massachusetts? GBH News 2024-05-17 | Massachusetts was the first state in the U.S. to legalize same-sex marriage. In a case called Goodridge v. Department of Public Health, the chief justice of the state's Supreme Judicial Court, Margaret Marshall, ruled for the plaintiffs. In the decision, she wrote: "Civil marriage is at once a deeply personal commitment to another human being and a highly public celebration of the ideals of mutuality, companionship, intimacy, fidelity, and family. Because it fulfils yearnings for security, safe haven, and connection that express our common humanity, civil marriage is an esteemed institution, and the decision whether and whom to marry is among life's momentous acts of self-definition." The court handed down its decision in November of 2003, and on May 17, 2004, the ruling went into effect. Beginning at midnight in Cambridge, couples began to come to get marriage licenses and be married while crowds celebrated in the street. Hillary and Julie Goodridge, who were plaintiffs in the case, were accompanied by then-Boston Mayor Tom Menino to City Hall where they got their marriage license. This episode of Greater Boston aired on GBH 2 on May 17, 2004.
