The article discusses the Boston School Committee’s decision to change the name of the James F. Condon School to honor civil rights activist Ruth Batson. The renaming decision was made after a year of discussion and community input, with many highlighting Batson’s contributions to education equality and racial justice.

The move has been praised by local activists and residents who have long advocated for more representation of marginalized communities in the city’s public spaces. Ruth Batson’s work in desegregating schools and fighting for equal access to education for all students has left a lasting impact on Boston and the nation as a whole.

The renaming ceremony is set to take place next month, with students and community members expected to participate in the celebration. The change reflects a larger nationwide trend of reevaluating the names of public spaces and institutions to better align with values of diversity, inclusion, and social justice.
