Grace by Nia - One of Boston Seaport's Newest Venues Opens

Basic Black Podcast

The Economic Growth of Seaport Boston.

We are on location at Grace by Nia, a new Black-owned supper club in Boston’s Seaport District. From what was a thousand acres of scrubby vacant land and parking lots, the seaport district has developed into a sparkling prime location for retail, housing, and entertainment. But businesses of color have struggled to gain a foothold in the area the Boston Globe’s spotlight team once described as, a “brand new Boston, even whiter than the old.” that was six years ago—what’s changed? And will the future bring more diversity?
