fought
in
our
land.
A
number
of
our
founding
fathers
lived
in
our
neighborhoods
and
contributed
to
the
fabric
of
our
city.
America's
independence
wouldn't
be
possible
without
the
city
of
boston
and
its
people
we're
at
a
crossroads
in
America's
future.
It's
not
a
time
to
move
backward,
it's
a
time
to
move
forward.
As
a
united
people,
we
cannot
bend
to
hate,
to
fear
or
to
intimidation.

My
family

the
millions
of
people
whose
in
cestas
family
came
to
Boston

the
United
States
for
freedom,
independence
and

and
I
have
come
to
know
so
many
people
in
so
many
families
from
countries
around
the
world
who
have
come

America
to
enjoy
the

an
immigrant
City
America

city.
It's
kind
of
fashionable
today,
isn't
it
that
it's
almost
a
war
against
immigrants,
there's
never
been
a
war
against
immigrants.
