'W the Movie' is nightmarish, provocative and imaginative. Portrays George W. Bush as a cruel, sadistic, psychopathic tyrant. Best character: Eaker as BlueMahler, a freethinker who dares to take on a tyrannical government. '

Internet picture (view from Bunker Hill Monument) "New" Dam and Locks (to left of bridge), near USS Constitution and downsteam of original facilities.Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge (2002) was built as part of "the Big Dig Project"; the largest and most expensive ($22 billion) highway construction project in the US to reroute the main highway through the heart of the city into 5.6 km tunnel.Its name commemorates both Boston civic leader and civil rights activist, who championed "building bridges between peoples", and the Battle of Bunker Hill.It is the widest "cable-stayed" ("harp" design) bridge in the world carrying 10 lanes of Interstate 93 over the Charles River (i.e. 2 outer lanes are cantilevered outside of the wires and 8 lanes run through the towers). It was a replacement for the Charlestown High Bridge; an older truss bridge constructed in the 1950s.The cables suggest a ship in full sail and also evoke the history of East Boston as a center of shipbuilding.

Harry BelafonteHarold George "Harry" Belafonte, Jr. (originally Belafonete; born March 1, 1927) is an American musician, singer, actor, and social activist. One of the most successful pop singers in history, he was dubbed the "King of Calypso" -- a title which he was very reluctant to accept (according to the documentary Calypso Dreams) -- for popularizing the Caribbean musical style with an international audience in the 1950s. Belafonte is perhaps best known for singing the "Banana Boat Song", with its signature lyric "Day-O." Throughout his career, he has been an advocate for civil rights and humanitarian causes, and was a vocal critic of the policies of the George W. Bush Administration.

First African Baptist Church (Franklin Square)The oldest black congregation in North America, dating from 1777. The founding pastor was George Liele, who was the first black Baptist in Georgia. The building pictured was erected in 1859 and built almost entirely by the members of the congregation, most of whom were enslaved at that point in our history. It was a key staging area for the Underground Railroad and a nerve center of the early civil rights movement in Savannah in the early 1950s.

Malcolm XBorn Malcolm Little in 1925, Malcolm X changed his name while serving time in prison, where he was introduced to the Muslim religion and the teachings of Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad. The X, he said, symbolized the true African family name that he could never know. During the 1950s, he was instrumental in increasing the membership in the Nation of Islam and became known for has aggressive approach to addressing the inequities between black and white Americans. Unlike King and his associates in the civil rights movement, who advocated a nonviolent approach to achieving equality, Malcolm X espoused the rejection of whites and advocated "armed self-defense" as the best strategy to win freedom, justice and equality.
