91-year-old civil rights pioneer stabbed multiple times while walking her dog in Boston

An activist for civil rights and education was stabbed multiple times while walking her dog in Boston.

The elderly woman was found in the park with stab wounds.

The victim was taken to an area hospital. She is doing well.

He asked what he wanted. Money is not carried by dog walkers. We carry identification. He won't get anything else. Unless he has the desire to beat up someone who is defenseless.

Kevin Hayden was the Suffolk County district attorney. Robert was a former president of METCO.

She is going to be just fine and she is as vibrant as ever. Thank you to the Lord. "He said that." She is one of the leaders who came before me. She is doing well.

Jackson said he was so angry to hear about Boston. In the same week that we lost a 14-year-old to gun violence, we also lost a 91-year-old woman for education. She fought for our civil rights for a long time in the face of danger, and she was stabbed by someone who wanted to kill her.

The mayor said she was disgusted and angry that an elder in the community had to fear for her safety walking her dog. I would like to thank our emergency responders for their quick action to ensure that the healthcare and treatment was quickly accessed and that Boston police are conducting a very active investigation.

Police are still looking for the suspect and have yet to make an arrest. The suspect may have been hurt during the attack.

The suspect may have been bitten by the dog, according to the sister.

There is a lantern light experience at the Franklin Park Zoo every night from 6PM to 10:30PM.

The fight for equal rights in education for black communities was led by McGuire. She was the first black woman to sit on the school committee.

METCO had an executive director for more than 40 years. She calls for the need for racial and community representation in all levels of education.

The president of the METCO said that it was shocking to know that someone who was part of the community for so long, fighting for it, was stabbed and hurt.

During a Boston Celtics game in 2020, McGuire was honored as part of the team's "Heroes Among Us" program.

She was the only black student in all of her classes when she was in public school.

Boston police detectives would love to hear from you.

It is still being investigated.
