April 15 will now be known as "One Boston Day" in the Hub, Mayor Martin J. Walsh announced yesterday, a holiday aimed at honoring "the resiliency, generosity and strength of the city" on the anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings.
"The day will be an opportunity to recognize the good in our community and reflect on the spirit of grace and resilience of the people of Boston that was exemplified in the response to the loss and the tragedies of April 15, 2013," Walsh said. "The new tradition will put a mark on a day honoring the strength of our city, its people and their acts of goodness toward one another."
Walsh made the announcement while unveiling the 2015 Boston Marathon street banners "There's Only One Boston" on Boylston Street with 2014 Boston Marathon champion Meb Keflezighi and four-time Boston Marathon champion Bill Rodgers. John Hancock is marking 30 years as marathon principal sponsor.
"One Boston Day" will encourage random acts of kindness and spreading goodwill, and activities across the city will encourage individuals to give back to their community.
"April 15 is a date that has come to stand for our city's deepest values," Walsh said. "I hope everyone can mark this day in a way that is appropriate and inclusive for each of our experiences."
