Shhhush. This is a Library!
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn
The Times Sunday City Section has an article, An Exhibition Notable for What’s Not There by Paul Berger on the Brooklyn Public Library's censorship of the art show "Footprints: Portrait of a Brooklyn Neighborhood". The article leaves out an important fact about the censored portrait of DDDB's spokesperson Daniel Goldstein–which is that he is a resident of the proposed footprint for the "Atlantic Yards" project and a plaintiff on the federal lawsuit challenging the use of eminent domain to build the project. The portrait and other works were censored, er "absent," from the Public Library's exhibition.
