XML FeedsThis Time a Piece of Ground Zero Is the Target of a Lawsuit
By Richard Amada on Aug 4, 2011 | In Visual Arts
A piece of the rubble that remained in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York is now at the center of a legal controversy. The piece at issue is a cross-shaped beam that was found amidst the mangled debris of the collapsed buildings. Some took it as a sign that God was still present and had not deserted the site of the tragedy.
The current issue has to do with the display of that cross at the memorial created on the Ground Zero site. An organization called American Atheists, along with some individual plaintiffs, has filed a lawsuit claiming that the inclusion of a religious symbol in a government sponsored memorial is unconstitutional.
You can read the complaint online.
