Brookline

“A Black eighth grader … was subjected to racial bullying,” read a press release from the Lawyers for Civil Rights last week. It represented the latest salvo from the crusading pro-bono attorneys who originated the suit desegregating Boston’s public schools a half-century ago.

Earlier this month, the town of Brookline approved renaming Heath Elementary School the Roland Hayes School.

In two weeks, The Country Club, Brookline’s prestigious private course whose name needs no elaboration, will take center stage in the world of golf for the 2022 U.S. Open. In advance of the attention and scrutiny that come with hosting one of the sport’s four major championships, The Country Club rolled out a new internship program to introduce college students from underrepresented backgrounds to the cloistered business of golf: the Lee Elder Internship.
