Free at Last?

I picked this up thanks to the Clinton Hill Blog, its a list of events celebrating the Sailor's Memorial in Fort Greene park which has been fenced in for the past two summers.



The events will feature, art, music starting on this Friday the 14th and continuing on all day Saturday the 15th.

Here's a quick list of the schedule and the link to
the monument itself.

Come be a part of history and honor our country as we re-light the monument, which has been dark for over seventy years!
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 1908 dedication of the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument, a grand celebration will take place on November 15, 2008 in Fort Greene Park. The majestic Stanford White-designed Monument which stands in the heart of the Park is one of the most important and sacred memorials in our country. It honors the remains of over 11,500 POWs, interred in a crypt beneath the Monument, who perished for the cause of freedom during the American War of Independence.
