There were a bunch of people who didn't like the state naming a bridge built by the state and federally funded after Zakim.

I guess they preferred The Victims of the Code of Silence Memorial Bridge?

Perhaps, they should wait until #2065 for this celebration. The 19th Amendment did not grant all American women the right to vote.
