BOSTON — The city paused for a somber moment out of an otherwise joyous day to honor the victims and survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing nine years ago.
“It’s really emotional being here, and I know this moment has come through so much planning and so many feelings from families who are impacted and members of our community,” Mayor Michelle Wu said.
“It’s really meaningful to see such a big crowd out to commemorate and honor the lives that were lost here, and also make sure that we always remember them and what we do moving forward.”
