Boston gets its first Black and first female mayor, Kim Janey

Boston has its first Black and first female mayor. Kim Janey officially took the reins as acting mayor at 9:01 p.m. Monday, a minute after Marty Walsh resigned, CBS Boston reports. She's scheduled to have a ceremonial swearing in Wednesday.

Walsh was confirmed as U.S. labor secretary in a 68-29 Senate vote shortly after 6 p.m. Janey, who was City Council president, said earlier in the evening, "History will be made tonight. We're an extremely diverse city from different backgrounds and different nationalities and different skin colors. I think it's a good thing for our city. I think it's a great thing for our city."
