Old North projections
Projections on the Old North North Church by Silence Dogood
Silence Dogood had some messages to project onto the Old North Church tonight.
A small crowd gathered as the images cycled. Asked whether the projectors were part of the official 250 celebration or something else, a hired photographer responded only with "rogue".
This is one of many such projections by the group. Previous iterations include the Old South Meeting House and the Old State House.
For those wondering about the group's name, Benjamin Franklin used "Silence Dogood" as a psudonym to write about tyranny starting in his teens.

Go, Boston! Will prints be available? This transplanted New Englander (to Northern Virginia) would love to have them!

I'm in rural Arkansas. Have many Revolutionary War ancestors on both sides of my family, at least one died from his war wounds. My dad fought in the US Army Air Corp with the resistance in WWII France. I served with my local Army Reserve Unit. I am so happy to see these projections and the resistance all over this nation. We see you Boston. We appreciate you. We believe you and we are heeding the call....keep up the good works!

Thank you for your service
I've visited the Old North Church twice. I've been down the Battle Road, one of the most inspiring places I've ever seen. I love Concord. Northern Illinois is, culturally, a branch of Yankeedom, a legacy of the first settlers. Rest assured that in Chicagoland, we are making common cause with Boston.
LOVE THIS!!!
No kings in USA
So proud to be lifelong Bostonian!

Proud to be a lifelong Bostonian one without being political about everything that's why they did that sign.
Last night I watched the recording of 'A Special Evening with
Heather Cox Richardson', at the Old North Church commemorating Paul Revere's Ride. At the end of the event, the outside of the church was shown and I noticed the projections. I loved them, so I went online to learn more about them and found this site. Thanks so much for all you do. Here's the link to the event for those who haven't seen it:

Onward!! -Peace, Kitty
Charlottesville is with you Boston. Down with the monarchy! Never succumb to tyranny!
That sign wasn't there the last 4 years or during the first term of DT or Obama. But this is political that sign they don't like him which is clearly why they chose to say that. Last year it didn't say "If one by land if two by DC" Another woke attempt to disrupt and manipulate people into not celebrating a key point of our nation to turn on it. He won I mean we've had 45 other presidents run our country besides him and now all of sudden people are triggered.
