DOJ Sues Boston and Mayor Michelle Wu ’07 Over Sanctuary City Policy
The President himself is known to favor the Soldiers Field location, because Longfellow Park, directly across the River from the site, would create an impressive mall, leading from the library to Longfellow House. Unfortunately, the Federal Government must overcome legal and technical hurdles before the site can be used for the Kennedy Library. Long Legal Preparation The Soldiers Field site was given to the University by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow under a deed which limits its use strictly to "meadows or College buildings." Schlesinger said that "the Federal government might be able to construct a library on the land since the building would be used for scholastic purposes," but he indicated that "long legal preparation would be necessary." Schlesinger also said that swampy land on the site may present some engineering problems. He maintained, however, that "the Administration has not given the Kennedy Library project very high priority, because the problem does not have to be solved until after 1963." Kennedy will not turn over his papers to the library until after his term of office. The library will be supported by private donations. Schlesinger is now working closely with Wayne Grover, the archivist of the United States, and Edward Hanify of the Boston law firm of Ropes and Gray.
