A 91-year-old education equity pioneer and civil rights activist who was stabbed while walking her dog in a Boston park released her first public statement Friday since the attack, keeping the focus on her lifetime work of helping children.
“We as a community can never forget that we need to stand together and continue working to empower our children through learning," Jean McGuire said in the statement released by her family. “We are at our best as a people; when it’s about ‘we’ not ‘me’. I love you all and I will see you soon.”
