- Description
- Tyronne Henderson was just 6-years-old when he was featured on WBZ’s Wednesday’s Child back in 1994 with Jack Williams. Thanks to the segment, he was adopted six months later by a couple who were teachers in Western Mass. Now, he is married with two children, has a successful career, and wants to give back and promote adoption.
Henderson met up with WBZ’s Paula Ebben back where his journey to adoption began – and she brought along a few surprises thanks to some help from the Harlem Globetrotters and Jack Williams. When asked what he would like to say to families who are thinking about adoption - “It changed the trajectory of my life. It changed my sense of belonging and just feeling loved and actually chosen - that you just need to love and be patient but you should do it."

- Description
- Tensions are rising between Boston officials and the state over plans to close part of Summer Street near South Station during upcoming World Cup matches. The MBTA says the closure is necessary to handle unprecedented crowds and heightened security, even suggesting it could move forward without city approval. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is pushing back, arguing the state is bypassing the city’s established process and warning of major traffic disruptions. With matches scheduled on weekdays, the proposed closures could impact commuters for up to 10 hours at a time.
