Mayor Wu and Age Strong Commissioner Emily Shea were both present at the event and gave remarks. They also took the opportunity to honor Lillian O'Neal, a Boston resident and retired employee of the United States Postal Service. O'Neal is not only a poet but also a proud advocate for veterans and Black heroes. She uses her poetry to celebrate their contributions and sacrifices.
