The East Boston Chamber of Commerce Commemorates Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

The East Boston Chamber of Commerce will be placing a display of American flags to commemorate the upcoming Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday, 1/18/21 at the

Daniel H Solari Square outside the Chamber of Commerce office at 464 Bremen Street.

Martin Luther King Jr. exemplified organized protests to voice his concerns in a peaceful way, without violence.  He will forever be remembered for advocating for meeting with violence in non-violent ways while voicing his concerns through protests.

Please note that the flags are for display purposes.  If anyone wishes to obtain a flag, please feel free to contact the Chamber at eastbostonchamber.com.  You can take a selfie of yourself or others with the flag display and post it on  social media with the hashtag  #eastbostonchamber to enter in a raffle for a free US flag like those found in the display.

We will announce the winner on the East Boston Chamber of Commerce Facebook Page.
