Jordan Rich Fills In On NightSide with Dan Rea:

The Boston Marathon was postponed by 6 months this year due to COVID. The new date for this year’s marathon is Monday Oct. 11th, which also happens to be Columbus Day, or Indigenous Peoples Day. Every year the Boston Athletic Association requests permits from the towns that their race runs through. When the B.A.A. went to request a permit from Brookline, they were met with harsh criticism from some board members for how the race fell on Indigenous Peoples Day. Vice Chairman Raul Fernandez said the B.A.A.’s decision to hold the race on Oct. 11th was one more example of how Indigenous People in their community “are continuously left out of conversations.” Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby joins Jordan to discuss.
