John Frederick Collins (July 20, 1919 – November 23, 1995) was the Mayor of Boston, Massachusetts from January 4, 1960 to January 1, 1968 under whose tenure the Boston Housing Authority actively segregated its public housing developments and whose property tax assessor's office implemented racially discriminatory assessments. In 1963, Collins and Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) executive Edward J. Logue organized a consortium of savings banks, cooperatives, and federal and state savings and loan associations in the city called the Boston Banks Urban Renewal Group (B-BURG) that would redline parts of Dorchester, Roxbury, and Mattapan along Blue Hill Avenue. In April 1965, a special committee appointed by the Massachusetts Education Commissioner found the Boston Public Schools to be racially imbalanced due to housing segregation, leading to the passage of the Racial Imbalance Act signed into law by Massachusetts Governor John Volpe the following August.
