Empire State Building Urged to Honor Mother Teresa
The article on Epoch Times is dated August 22, 2010.
They can make the Empire State Building into a parking lot if it decides it is good to honor Mao Tse Tung (which they have done in the past), but not Mother Teresa...
Management issue ... we all know they are aholes ... the building didn’t do it ... it’s as much a Landmark as any we have and this is a terrible idea.
"Mother Teresa is not just a religious figure, she’s really a symbol of humanity. She’s a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She received honors and awards in countries all over the world. But most importantly, she is a symbol of what we, as human beings, can achieve, [when] we give our hearts, our energies, to the service of others,” said Richard Espinal, executive director of Altagracia Center for Faith and Justice. “We want the Empire State Building, which has become a symbol of the city of New York and of the state of New York, to recognize who she was as a symbol of our humanity, of our potential.”
