The outrage over George Floyd’s death has sparked a reaction the likes of which we have not seen since 1968. From cries for reform to protests in the street, the collective expression of anger has resonated across the country.

The most effective source of reform may well come from the same place where many people feel the problem emanates: the business community.

The Revolution Hotel, which opened late last year, offers smaller, modern rooms at rates roughly a third the price of nearby hotels in Back Bay.

That keeps him optimistic for his own property’s performance.

Fundraising effort marks the largest of its kind in American history.
