I am the Grandaughter of Michael Joseph Finnegan and he was one of the Police Officers involved in the strike. I would like to get involved having just seen the plan!
Thank you, Jean Lamkin

Fourth request to prove I am not SPAM!?
Hello, My name is Richard Felton. I am a retired DFC for the city of Boston Fire Department. My father was a member or the BPD, and his father and grandfather were also members of the BPD. I have been trying to do some research on their history, and would like to know where would be a good place to start. Any information would be helpful. Richard Felton
just waisted over 40 mins waiting for something other than songs from 1919 & old photos… still waiting for someone to start talking…
Is there a list of names of the police officers who went on strike in 1919?
