martyrs

After a raucous New Years Eve with Shemp, I woke up earlier than I would have like on New Years Day. Nobody else was up, so I went for a wander around Fort Greene. There’s a big monument in the park right next to Shempy’s apartment that I’d never seen up close (the Prison Ship Martyrs Monument). I don’t know if the Society of Old Brooklynites had anything to do with the monument other than that they affixed a plaque with their name on it.
