As The Bay State Banner moves into a new phase, we at Mitchell Stark Enterprises want to thank the many prominent members of Greater Boston’s Black community who stepped up by providing private investment and financial support to make our purchase of the newspaper possible. They believed in the importance of this historic Black community institution and the service it provides to our commonwealth. Without your participation, this venture would not have been possible.

We want to thank all of you for your stalwart commitment to your community.
