The memory of Aaron Swartz remains strong more than a week after his tragic death, judging from the turnout at his memorial service in New York City tonight.
Around 900 people attended the service at Cooper Union's Great Hall, which featured a selection of speakers close to Swartz. In addition to remembering his life and accomplishments, there was also a constant push towards political action -- something that makes it clear Swartz's legacy will live on for some time.
