Boston highways: A bridge or a divide? – The Tufts Daily
In 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the interstate freeway system into existence — without end altering the nation’s constructed atmosphere and social infrastructure. Rich white households might now stay in suburbs and commute to cities. Whereas highways bridged suburbs and cities, they constructed straight by city communities of coloration.
Garrett Sprint Nelson, president and head curator on the Norman B. Leventhal Map & Schooling Middle on the Boston Public Library, defined the position highways performed in forming this racial divide.
“The introduction of highways into U.S cities allowed white prosperous communities to flee the historic industrial facilities of cities, forsaking oftentimes a Black and Brown inhabitants caught in difficult circumstances,” Nelson mentioned.
Air air pollution, congested car visitors and unattractive aesthetics could make highways disagreeable to stay close to. Nelson defined that these unfavorable externalities are sometimes compelled upon marginalized neighborhoods by city planning.
“The cities that felt that they wanted to accommodate themselves to highways did so oftentimes by putting highways in among the most susceptible elements of city,” Nelson mentioned. “These had been the areas the place it was comparatively low-cost to grab land … that had fairly little political energy [and] fairly little capacity to say no to the individuals in energy.”
In line with the Metropolitan Space Planning Council, lower than 30% of white residents within the Larger Boston area stay in areas with the highest 20% of air air pollution depth. On the identical time, these severely polluted areas are dwelling to 45% of Black and Asian residents and over 50% of Latino residents. These inequitable outcomes had been attributable to many decision-makers in U.S politics.
“It was made by governments, it was made by industries [and] it was made to some extent by peculiar individuals to actually reorganize the nation’s geography alongside car journey,” Nelson mentioned.
As a metropolis, Boston has been each a catalyst and an inhibitor within the growth of highways. Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) and Interstate 93 (I-93) run immediately by town. There’s a deep historical past of environmental justice activism in opposition to freeway enlargement tasks with the intention to stop future harmful impacts on communities of coloration.
“Boston truly traditionally has been a frontrunner on this, each the well-known story of the marketing campaign in opposition to the Southwest Hall [and] the Southwest Expressway, which [were] planning to run primarily by Roxbury, Jamaica Plain and ultimately Cambridge, which was stopped by the early Nineteen Seventies,” Nelson mentioned.
Chinatown is in an space of Boston that has been extraordinarily affected by freeway growth; it’s also a majority Asian and lower-income inhabitants. Penn Loh, a senior lecturer within the Division of City and Environmental Coverage and Planning at Tufts and former govt director at Options for Group & Surroundings, mentioned the grassroots group in Chinatown that occurred in response to the event of the Central Artery, a piece of freeway in downtown Boston.
“Chinatown itself is a neighborhood that had been principally minimize in half by the Mass Pike and I-93. So each these highways constructed within the ’50s and ’60s took away land from Chinatown,” Loh mentioned.
The Metropolis of Boston started planning within the Nineteen Eighties for the Central Artery or “The Large Dig” — a three-decades-long challenge that totaled to be the most costly public works challenge ever accomplished in the US. The challenge concerned undergrounding Interstate 93 in tunnels by downtown Boston. In line with Loh, Chinatown needed to regularly combat for its city area throughout this challenge.
“When the Large Dig was nonetheless being constructed, one of many deliberate proposals was to construct an off-ramp from the Large Dig into Chinatown,” Loh mentioned. “The explanation for that was the motels within the conference middle within the Again Bay needed a approach for individuals to get off the Central Artery and make it over to their space.”
Chinatown was already affected by harsh environmental and visitors circumstances from different main roadways to the purpose the place it was a security concern. The proposed ramp into the Chinatown neighborhood would have exacerbated its present points and trigger extra displacement of communities of coloration. In protest of the ramp, a coalition was fashioned.
“The teams in Chinatown … had already recognized pedestrian security as one of many huge points,” Loh mentioned. “It’s a public well being subject, it’s an environmental [issue], and a constructed atmosphere subject. In order that they fought again, and [Alternatives for Community & Environment] joined that coalition.”
Over the subsequent two years, this coalition mobilized and arranged individuals to disrupt the event of the ramp into Chinatown. Many alternative establishments got here collectively — immigration organizations, the church, the Chinese language Historic Society and the Tisch School Group Analysis Middle, Loh defined.
At Tufts, former Professor Doug Brugge organized college students in a analysis challenge in 2002 to seize the truth of pedestrian security in Chinatown. Brugge and college students checked out accident knowledge from the Boston Police Division to find out probably the most harmful intersections within the space. Then they went to these streets with video cameras and filmed them always of the day. When analyzing the footage, they found that there have been many “shut calls” of car and pedestrian collisions.
“Chinatown was one [where] visitors was unhealthy all day lengthy and all night time, and that there have been harmful conditions occurring just about 24/7,” Loh mentioned.
Options for Group & Surroundings additionally employed a transportation engineer to look into various routes for the ramp that may enable these motels in Again Bay to have entry to the brand new freeway.
“[The transportation engineer] spent hours and hours pouring by all these plans [and] got here again to the coalition and mentioned, ‘ what, I feel there’s one other approach for them to do what they wish to do with out going by Chinatown,’” Loh mentioned. “He offered that to the parents on the Central Artery, and their engineering individuals mentioned, ‘Possibly this might work.’”
On the finish of the 2 years, Boston decision-makers didn’t observe by with the development of the ramp into Chinatown.
“That, to me, was a very nice instance of how group organizing and coalition-building paired up with this type of technical help that basically made a distinction,” Loh mentioned.
Whereas the Large Dig could not have ramped into Chinatown, there have been nonetheless many different environmental injustices that got here out of the challenge. One was highlighted by a lawsuit filed by the Conservation Regulation Basis in 2005. Initially, town agreed to offset the burden of visitors and air air pollution to communities by rising public transportation. They had been comparatively fast to broaden the commuter rail to suburbs, however they didn’t file the identical consideration for MBTA passengers within the Metropolis of Boston.
“Within the early 2000s, [the community and the CLF said], ‘Hey, you’ve completed all these mitigation tasks that serve the suburbs, however not one of the ones that you just had promised to do within the internal core have been completed but,” Loh mentioned. “That’s an environmental injustice. It’s saying these environmental advantages weren’t utilized evenly.”
This lawsuit led to the settlement for the extension of the Inexperienced Line to Union Sq. and Tufts College, in addition to into Dorchester and Mattapan.
Loh defined the duality of the Large Dig in that it expanded city inexperienced area by the Rose Kennedy Greenway — Boston’s modern linear park — however did so at such a excessive value to the general public. It leaves society to query how public cash might have been directed otherwise.
“Among the greatest and costliest developments are proper alongside that Greenway now. They’re those that reaped a variety of windfall advantages from that public challenge,” Loh mentioned. “Finally, on the finish of the day, there have been 15 billion {dollars} in public cash spent on a number of miles of underground freeway.”
The development of highways has fueled society’s dependence on car transportation. With a purpose to lower the enlargement of highways, different transportation options must be mentioned. Nelson defined that it’s important that fairness performs a job in planning future journey.
“We’re going to have to consider tips on how to prioritize investments in various types of transportation and prioritize these investments in a approach that basically places probably the most uncovered communities first,” Nelson mentioned. “I feel a great instance of what to not do is … the present effort round shifting individuals to electrical automobiles [because it] advantages probably the most privileged first. Nearly all of Massachusetts subsidies for electrical autos have gone to individuals dwelling in rich suburbs.”
When fascinated about alternate types of transportation, senior environmental engineering pupil Emika Brown introduced up the necessity for walkability, bikeability and public transportation in Boston. She argued that options must be catered to the distinctive wants of particular areas of Boston.
“It permits individuals to have entry to necessary providers and reduces this space’s general carbon footprint,” Brown mentioned.“I feel it’s actually limiting for those that have restricted mobility anyway in the event that they don’t have entry to … [public] transportation.”
What makes Boston distinctive is that it’s so numerous and densely populated that a problem in a single space of a city might be vastly totally different than in a neighboring space. Brown argued that options must be prioritized for particular areas of Boston.
“Brickbottom [has] actually horrible bikeability and walkability, nevertheless it’s nonetheless in Somerville … [yet] Davis [Square] on the Somerville Group Path has actually good walkability,” Brown mentioned. “I’ve realized that it is very important prioritize options which might be geared towards particular communities on this space.”
Brown additionally defined that the divide of highways might be very hindering to an space’s walkability which feeds into a great public transportation system.
“It’s a extra bodily barrier than I feel individuals notice. … [It becomes] difficult [just] to cross,” Brown mentioned. “Particularly in case your group depends on public transportation greater than others. That’s actually horrible as a result of strolling and biking are inherent to public transportation. You may’t have it with out that, so for those who’re creating an enormous divide it nearly doesn’t matter for those who do have good public transportation.”
Equitable funding in public transportation is one resolution to coping with the harms of freeway enlargement in Boston, Brown summarized.
Reflecting on the historical past of freeway enlargement in Boston, it turns into clear that there must be intersectional options.
“There’s no approach we will take into consideration the atmosphere or environmental questions with out additionally coping with individuals and the problems of energy, politics, justice and injustice that are intimately related to how individuals create their societies,” Nelson mentioned.

Court papers say ex-NBA player Jontay Porter laid out betting scheme in a text; 6th person arrested
By JENNIFER PELTZ Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — A sixth person was charged Monday in the federal sports betting case involving ex-NBA player Jontay Porter, and authorities disclosed a text message Porter allegedly sent explaining how to cash in on his plans to bench himself in a January 2024 game.
The former Toronto Raptors center already has pleaded guilty in the criminal case and was banned from the NBA for life. He admitted that he agreed to withdraw early from games, claiming illness or injury, so that those in the know could win big by betting on him to underperform expectations.
Although the new developments don’t affect the legal case against Porter, they put the scheme in what a court document says were his own words.
“Hit unders for the big numbers,” Porter wrote to an alleged conspirator on Jan. 26, 2024, according to a court complaint against yet another alleged schemer, Shane Hennen. He was arrested Sunday at the Las Vegas airport while boarding a flight to Panama.
“No blocks no steals. I’m going to play first 2-3 minute stint off the bench then when I get subbed out tell them my eye killing me again,” Porter wrote, according to the complaint. It identifies him only as “NBA Player 1” but makes clear through references — such as the details of his guilty plea last year — that it’s Porter.
He had scratched an eye during a game on Jan. 22, 2024, keeping conspirators in the loop by text even from the arena, according to the complaint. But he wasn’t on the injured list when the Raptors faced the LA Clippers four days later.
Porter ultimately played about 4 1/2 minutes in that game before saying he had aggravated the eye problem. Then he pulled out of a March 20 game against the Sacramento Kings after less than three minutes, saying he felt ill. His performance in both games fell well below what sportsbooks had anticipated.
Porter told a court in July that he got involved in the plot to try to clear his own gambling debts. He’s set to be sentenced in May. He could face anything from no jail time to 20 years behind bars; prosecutors have estimated his sentence at about 3 1/2 to four years in prison.
A message was sent to his lawyer Monday to seek comment on the developments.
Hennen was released without bail after his arraignment Monday in Las Vegas on charges including wire fraud conspiracy. The court complaint alleges that he placed bets through proxies after co-conspirators alerted him to Porter’s plans for the Jan. 26 game, and that he also got a heads-up about the March 20 game and likely told other gamblers about it.
A message seeking comment was sent to his attorney.
Besides Hennen and Porter, four other people also have been charged to date. Two have pleaded guilty, a third has pleaded not guilty, and the fourth hasn’t entered a plea.
The complaint against Hennen alleges there were still more conspirators involved. It’s unclear whether more people may yet be arrested.

Constantine Manos, photographer for landmark ‘Where’s Boston?’ exhibit, dies at 90 – The Boston Globe
Among Mr. Manos’s books were “A Greek Portfolio” (1972; updated 1999), “Bostonians” (1975), “American Color” 1995) and ”American Color 2″ (2010). Mr. Manos’s work with color was notably expressive and influential.
“Color was a four-letter word in art photography,” the photographer Lou Jones, who worked with Mr. Manos on “Where’s Boston?,” said in a telephone interview. “But he was making wonderful, complex photographs with color, and that meant so much.”
Yet for all his formal skill, Mr. Manos always emphasized the human element in his work. “I am a people photographer and have always been interested in people,” he once said.
That interest extended beyond the photographs he took. He was a celebrated teacher. Among the students he taught in his photo workshops was Stella Johnson.
“He’d go through a hundred of my photographs,” she said in a telephone interview, “and maybe he’d like two. ‘No, no, no, no, yes, no.’ Costa really taught me how to see. I remember him looking at one picture and saying, “You were standing in the wrong spot.’ Something like that was invaluable to me as a young photographer.
“He was a very, very kind man, very generous. But he was very strict. ‘How could you do that?’ He was adored by his students and by his friends, absolutely. We were all lucky to have been in his orbit.”
Mr. Manos, who moved to Provincetown in 2008, lived in the South End for four decades. The South Carolina native’s association with the Boston area began when the Boston Symphony Orchestra hired him as a photographer at Tanglewood. He was 19. This led to Mr. Manos’s first book, “Portrait of a Symphony” (1961; updated 2000).
Constantine Manos was born in Columbia, S.C., on Oct. 12, 1934. His parents, Dimitri and Aphrodite (Vaporiotou) Manos, were Greek immigrants. They ran a café in the city’s Black section. That experience gave Mr. Manos a sympathy for marginalized people that would stay with him throughout his life. As a student at the University of South Carolina, he wrote editorials in the school paper opposing segregation. Later, he would do extensive work chronicling the LGBTQ+ community with his camera.
Mr. Manos became interested in photography at 13, joining the school camera club and building a darkroom in his parents’ basement. After graduating from college, Mr. Manos did two years of Army service in Germany, working as a photographer for Stars and Stripes. He joined Magnum in 1963. This had special meaning for him. Mr. Manos’s chief inspiration as a young photographer had been Henri Cartier-Bresson, one of Magnum’s founders. He was such an admirer he made a point of using the same equipment that Cartier-Bresson did.
That same year, Mr. Manos entered a seafood restaurant in Rome that was around the corner from the Pantheon. Prodanou, his future husband, was dining with friends. Noticing Mr. Manos, he gestured to him. “Would you join us for coffee?” The couple spent the next 61 years together, marrying in 2011.
Mr. Manos lived in Greece for three years, which led to “A Greek Portfolio.” He undertook a very different project in the Athens of America. Part of the city’s Bicentennial tribute, “Where’s Boston?” was a slice-of-many-lives view of contemporary Boston.
Located in a red-white-and-blue striped pavilion at the Prudential Center, it became a local sensation. The installation involved 42 computerized projectors and 3,097 color slides (most of them taken by Mr. Manos), shown on eight 10 feet by 10 feet screens. Outside the pavilion was a set of murals, consisting of 152 black-and-white photographs of Boston scenes, all shot by Mr. Manos.
“The most important thing I had to do was to keep my picture ideas simple,” he said in a 1975 Globe interview. “Viewers are treated to a veritable avalanche of color slides in exactly one hour’s time.”
In that same interview, he made an observation about his work generally. “I prefer to stay in close to my subjects. I let them see me and my camera and when they become bored they forget about me and then I get my best pictures.”
Among institutions that own Mr. Manos’s photographs are the Museum of Fine Arts; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Art Institute of Chicago; the High Museum of Art, Atlanta; the Library of Congress; and the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris.
In addition to his husband, Mr. Manos leaves a sister, Irene Constantinides, of Atlanta, and a brother, Theofanis Manos, of Greenville, S.C.
A memorial service will be held later this year.
