The City of Boston was honored by a visit from the Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, and the First Lady, Akie Abe on April 26th and 27th. While the Prime Minister was speaking at a local university, the First Lady paid a visit to Boston Latin Academy, a school that many FGLP alumni visit during their time in Boston.
