Monument to freedom of expression

The First Amendment of the US Constitution, as it appears on the Newseum building, an interactive and quite interesting museum that promotes free expression, with an emphasis on freedom of the press. Seems to me that Turkey should take a lesson from this…

We have been there numerous times and wanted to go in just to have a quick look around for some pictures, but admission has gone up to $22.95 per person, so that was the end of that. We’ll go back when there’s a new exhibit to see.

An important reminder of what we take for granted in America. Nicely detailed. V

Very cool! I never heard of this museum - I'm assuming it is in DC. ~BV~

This is so cool. I love the message and the way you have captured it. The Pulitzer prize photographs sign is an added treat ~V~

Very clear shot of the text while the text is very clear as to its meaning. V

an admirable aim to preserve freedoms that benefit all...there are many countries which would do well to pay heed to this law..
