[Magdalen] Boston "Free Speech Rally"

[ME Michaud]

I'm getting tweets from friends along the route.
Apparently the "free speech" contingent is outnumbered 100-to-one.
One of my friends posted video of the marching band leading the
parade from Roxbury and marchers jitterbugging in the streets.

Because irony is everywhere,
some of the "free speech" demonstrators have gathered in front of the
Robert Gould Shaw
memorial.
