Boston Globe’s 2020’s “Bostonian of the Year”
A Black Lives Matter activist whose Boston anti-violence non-profit was shut down last month as a federal fraud case against her and her husband continues to unfold wants unemployment benefits.
Monica Cannon-Grant, 41, who formerly headed the non-profit Violence in Boston, and her husband, Clark Grant, 38, were federally indicted in March for allegedly soliciting millions of dollars in donations following the 2020 killing of George Floyd that they used to "enrich themselves and their designees."
….From 2017 through at least 2020, the couple from Taunton, Massachusetts, allegedly exercised exclusive control over Violence in Boston’s financial accounts and diverted its money to themselves through cash withdrawals, cashed checks, debit purchases and transfers to their personal bank accounts.
Cannon-Grant is accused of paying herself a large salary, despite making public statements claiming she received no salary for her nonprofit work.
