"Yet not in vain,
Fathers and mothers, were your humble lives;
Each in its turn an influence that survives,
A light that shines again
In sacred memories, and in hearths and homes,
Vital as greater names that gild historic tomes…”
~ Christopher Pearce Cranch
This online video description of the Irish influence in Boston is interesting. Specifically of interest is the footage of the Famine Memorial in Boston (above), unveiled in 1998.
