Yesterday, Academy Award-winning actor and filmmaker Matt Damon reflected on the Boston bombings at the Sanders Theater in Harvard University USA. He was there to accept the 2013 Harvard Arts Medal at a ceremony and spoke of how proud he was to come from Boston.
The university president, Faust, commented “As we feel inspired by the people in Boston and by the power of the arts to heal and renew us, we are especially grateful for the wonder of our ongoing dialogue with Matt Damon on and off the screen,”
As the crowd exited Sanders after the ceremony, student volunteers collected donations for people affected by last week’s violence in Boston. This ceremony marks the start of the weekend's Arts First festival.

Such an unnecessary act, but great to see such support for Boston
