Repeal of Discriminatory Ordinances
Summary
Boynton Beach just repealed century-old racist ordinances that discriminated against Black residents. It’s mostly symbolic, but it’s the city formally admitting and correcting a ugly part of its history—so why care? Because local laws shape who gets treated fairly, and cleaning up the books matters.
