Freeway Revolt

This is the mural on Magazine Street in Cambridge.

In the 1970s, there was a thought that Interstate 95 would go through Cambridge. The people from that area would not allow their homes to be bulldozed and the neighborhood split in half by a highway. This mural shows how they stood up against the highway.

Even now, I95 goes around Boston, and Cambridge was spared from being split in half.
For different views of this mural, see here.
