Reflecting On Saturday's 'Free Speech' Rally
ResumeWe're taking stock of Saturday's rally with a roundtable of guests.
Some say that what the organizers called a "free speech" rally was anything but, because participants, counter-protesters and the media were barricaded from the Parkman Bandstand.
Others say the tens of thousands of counter-protesters show that Boston joined forces to stand against bigotry.
