A New Orleans-style mock funeral. February 18, 2017, Washington Square Park, NYC Organized by RISE AND RESIST, and GAG IS WATCHING, both based in New York City.
Under the Washington Square Arch
Our nation's past grieves with its present
Lady Liberty is dressed in mourning
Lincoln is pissed at what's happened. You can tell.
A child held a similar sign at the Women's March in January...
R.I.P. Truth
Some rallying and singing at the arch
Then the coffin is carried in mourning around the park.
There's been a lot to mourn in a short span of time.
The march heads up University Place
Liberty, Abe and Justice
Abe, Liberty and Justice politely wait for traffic to clear
The American presidency lasted for 218 years...
New Orleans style -- mourning with music

Abe stands tall
Forty four upside-down presidents accompany the mourners into Union Square
