This photograph is of the building sign-age that became know as the LIBERTY STREET PROTEST. In fact as you can see the building lies on the south east corner of the World Trade Center/Ground Zero site On liberty Street (one of the closest residences next to the site where the owners have not been able to move back in until over 3 years after 9/11/2001). Overlooking the memorial plaques and area where most tourists and onlookers from around the world visit when they want to see the emptiness that is now Ground Zero and the WTC site, As well as pay their respects. Conceived by local artist Glen E. Friedman, whose famous long time friend, entrepreneur Russell Simmons owned the top floor, and allowed Friedman to install his message, to let people of the world know that New Yorkers, who live so close to the actual destruction of 9/11/01, do not agree with the War on Terror being waged in their name. The signs were installed in the summer of 2004, staying up through the Republican National Convention, when the largest protests and number of arrests for a political convention were ever recorded.
