Grimke Sisters Bridge dedication
Thanks to everyone who attended the Grimke Sisters Bridge naming in Hyde Park.
It was a crisp, sunny morning, and filled with Hyde Park neighbors, folks from Boston Women's Heritage Trail, Suffrage 100 MA, Hyde Park Main Streets, and Hyde Park Historic Society. Thanks to our speakers:
- Mayor Walsh
- City Councillor Tim McCarthy
- Barbra Lee (Founder and President, Barbara Lee Family Foundation)
- Catherine Allgor (President, Massachusetts Historical Society), and
- Elisa Birdseye (Curator, Hyde Park Historical Society).
We enjoyed special guest Coline Jenkins, great-great-granddaughter of suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Special thanks to the Public Works Department for making this bridge a reality.
