\n At the hearing
\n Thursday in Federal Court <\/a>asking for an injuntion against
\n the City of Boston’s construction of a steel-enclosed protest space,
\n the Party of the First Part, aka the Plaintiff, represented by Boston
\n attourney Jonathan Shapiro, was the somewhat enigmatically named Bl(A)ck
\n Tea Society (et al). Who were these mysterious activists? They called
\n themselves "anti-authoritian" – was that a euphanism for "anarchist"?
\n Were they a 21st century version of the Weatherpeople? How dumb was
\n naming a revolutionary movement after the most ridiculed and derided
\n group of on-air personalities?<\/em><\/p>\n
\n our questions. As to the photo, it was the Number One result when we
\n used Google’s Image Search to look for "Black Tea Society", so we are
\n assuming that it is their World Headquarters…..<\/em><\/p>\n
\n even a single road closure, a small group of left-leaning activists
\n gathered in Cambridge and came to a unanimous decision: The convention
\n needed to be opposed, and its opponents would need all the support
\n they could get.<\/p>\n
\n even a high school student. Some of them had never been to a political
\n protest in their lives. But in the year since then, the organization
\n they hatched, the Bl(A)ck Tea Society, has grown into a high-profile
\n nerve center for the thousands of protesters expected to descend on Boston
\n in the next five days.<\/p>\n
