The change came after a five-year community campaign, a ballot initiative, and finally, a unanimous approval from Boston’s Public Improvement Commission. So now what? Will the name change be more than a point of cultural pride?  And will the rebranded Nubian Square offer an economic future for those who live in the community now?Panelists:Phillip Martin, Senior Investigative Reporter, New England Center for Investigative Reporting, WGBH News.Sadiki Kambon, chair of the Nubian Square Coalition and Director of The Black Community Information Center.Marita Rivero, Principal of Rivero Partners.  She is also the former president and C-E-O of the Museum of African American History as well as a former Vice President And G-M for Radio and Television, GBH.Richard Taylor, Managing Director, Nubian Square Development.
