New York City, you would think, is gearing up to make sure September 11, 2005 is simply a bland, overly-sentimental anniversary. Instead, they’re working really hard to make sure that an art exhibition celebrating graffiti as an art form does not receive a permit they recently revoked, even though the ACLU is now suing on behalf of Mark Ecko Enterprises, who had sought the permit for an outside exhibition.

Lawyers for the city well know -- or should know -- that the exhibition does not even remotely cross the Brandenburg line and that the city’s attempted censorship cannot be sustained under current First Amendment doctrine.

Art Eisenberg, Legal Director of the NYCLU stated in an ACLU press release.
