EastTimes-Free Boston Press PRESIDENT: Stephen Quigley PUBLISHER: Debra DiGregorio Forum EDITOR:: Cary Shuman PUBLISHER EMERITUS: John A. Torrone IS THIS REALLY AMERICA?

The national disgrace that is occurring at our Southern bor- der is something that we never could have imagined happening in the United States of America. The images of children separated from their parents and locked behind chain link fences evokes the worst horrors of the 20th century -- the concentration camps and gulags to which millions of people were consigned by the very worst dictatorial regimes. For almost 250 years, America has been not merely a place, but an ideal for the proposition that all men are created equally and that every person has a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In less than a few days' time however, the principles that Thomas Jefferson and the Founding Fathers so eloquently, yet simply, put into words in the Declaration of Independence have been destroyed. The justification for what, by any standards of decency, East Boston Ecumenical Community Council blasts Trump amounts to an inhumane policy resembles a classic case of re- ductio ad absurdum.

Welcoming the ICA Watershed to the Boston Harbor Shipyard and Marina.

At the Watershed, the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston (ICA) will welcome visitors to experience immersive artworks by artists engaged with the issues of our times. Transportation from the ICA to the Watershed will be available by boat from docks adjacent to the ICA, and on the MBTA Blue Line. For more information about the ICA visit icaboston.org.

“We are thrilled to be working with the ICA on this ambitious and visionary endeavor that will connect the two neighborhoods we call home - East Boston and South Boston - through art and across the Harbor. The Watershed will connect communities with Boston’s dynamic working waterfront and shine a light on its vital role in our city’s history and future.” Tom Glynn, Chief Executive Officer Massachusetts Port Authority
