“‘Who controls the past’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past’.” (Orwell)
On July 1, I attended a rally in my very own neighborhood of Astoria (Queens, NYC). The reason for the event was to show support for the people of Greece as they headed towards a crucial July 5th vote and -- considering Astoria’s large Greek population -- it was no surprise to find a large, mostly white crowd.
As I made my way through a jam-packed Athens Square Park with my camera, I encountered a large banner that read, in part: FROM NEW YORK TO GREECE WE REVOLT BECAUSE WE CAN’T BREATHE.
Yes, I took a photo (see above). Yes, I winced.
