 Satya Dec 02/Jan 03: A More Perfect Union by Martin Rowe
Benepe told us that the Square was named not after the Union soldiers who gathered nearby before marching off to fight the Confederacy, nor even the union members who held rallies and demonstrated for safer working conditions, women’s suffrage, or civil rights.
It was called Union Square, he told us, because 14th Street unites with Broadway—a prosaic reason that failed to dim the lyricism of all the speakers who recalled Union Square’s history as a place where people met to change things.
Union Square, agreed the speakers, represented the root of democracy—a space where people could gather to exercise that most precious of rights: the right to believe another world is possible.
