Another Pandemic SUNDAY-MONDAY-TUESDAY

Sunday
5.3.2020
A walk about masked and gloved.
The Gandhi Garden
"On July 15, 1986 The New York Times reported "On the second of October in 1869, Mohandas K. Gandhi was born.  On the second of October in 1986, an eight-foot bronze likeness of the Mahatma is scheduled to be unveiled in Union Square." The choice of Union Square as the statue's site was by no means casual. Several other locations had been proposed, but the Gandhi Memorial International Foundation had rejected them all as inappropriate.  Gandhi's great-grandnephew, Yogesh K. Gandhi, was director of the foundation and he explained "Union Square has a history of free speech.  For me, union is identified with unity.  And also, thousands of people are passing by every day.  By seeing the statue, people get the inspiration of the philosophy of nonviolence.  And that is the idea."
