we got to see
the new bridge into boston
on foot--
oh the pr moves
of the big dig!
oh the fatuous allusions
to liberty and civil rights!
bruce springsteen for the nobs
and a Big Band for us.

text of the informational sign

left panel:
"In 28 years as head of the Anti-Defamation League of New England, Leonard P. Zakim brought people together in a tireless struggle against prejudice and for human rights. In the struggle for civil rights, he stood as tall as the patriots of Bunker Hill."

right panel:
something about the battle of bunker hill being about fighting British oppression and the American love of freedom. and somehow it all ties in with lenny zakim.
