Women of color made history in last night’s local and state elections. In Framingham, Yvonne Spicer became the newly designated city’s first ever mayor-elect and the first black woman to be popularly elected mayor in the state of Massachusetts. In Boston, City Councilor-Elect Lydia Edwards helped tip the scales so, come January, the City Council will be made up of more female members of color than ever before. Spicer and Edwards joined Jim Braude to discuss the effect of theirs and other local races.
