Leonard Paul
"Lenny" Zakim was a Jewish-American religious and civil
rights leader in Boston. Zakim died in 1999 after a 5-year battle with
bone-marrow cancer. Boston's Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge was named in
his honor. Zakim was born in Clifton, New Jersey and became interested in civil
rights and activism after he encountered anti-semitism as a boy. He earned his
undergraduate degree at American University in Washington, DC and then
graduated from the New England School of Law in 1978. Source
