Senator Edward M. Kennedy '54 (D-Mass.) will give a bicentennial address on Tuesday at the rededication of the Washington Memorial at the Cambridge Common, John Reed, the director of the Cambridge Bicentennial Corporation, said yesterday.
Kennedy will unveil a memorial plaque at a ceremony sponsored by the Cambridge Bicentennial Corporation, which is spending $350,000 to renovate the Common, Reed said.
A staff member at Kennedy's Boston office said yesterday that the senator will meet after his address with the Chamber of Commerce.
The staff member declined to comment yesterday on either security arrangements or the possibility of anti-busing demonstrations by members of Restore Our Alienated Rights.
Reed said yesterday that the half-hour rededication ceremony is an attempt to parallel the 1950 dedication at which Congressman John F. Kennedy '40 spoke. Kennedy's presence will hopefully attract a large crowd to the unveiling, Reed said. The mayor of Cambridge and the President of the Cambridge Historical Society spoke at the first ceremony.
The plaque, which is replacing another one stolen last year, depicts Washington on horseback inspecting his troops.
