Walk into the U.S. courthouse at the corner of Sixth and Market streets and a large, commemorative plaque advises you are standing in the Edward R. Becker lobby. It's in honor of the late chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, who was admired and beloved as much for his judicial brilliance as his devotion to doing good. Indeed, just a block away stands another tribute to Becker. On the corner of Sixth and Chestnut, a street sign grants the name Judge Edward R. Becker Way to the stretch of Chestnut in front of Independence Hall. It recognizes Becker's tireless efforts to reopen that block after it had closed following the 9/11 attacks.
