New York City: "Journey of Fa-Rectification" Photo Exhibit Held in the Manhattan New School (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net) Hosted by the Falun Gong Club, the "Journey of Fa-Rectification"
photo exhibit is being held at the lobby of the Manhattan New School for two
weeks. The "New School," with about 8,000 registered students, is an
adult college located close to Union Square. Ben, a student of the New School, is the director of the Falun Gong Club. He
said that the club was founded last year with the mission to introduce Falun
Gong, clarify the truth, and raise awareness of the persecution in
China to students and faculty members. When he first came to the school, not
many people there knew about Falun Gong. One year later, the majority now knows
about Falun Gong, and many have signed his petition to show their support. The
exhibit was sponsored by the school. As the exhibit site is located at the school entrance, no one will miss it.
The exhibit consists of three sections: "Falun Dafa Is Good!"
"The Brutal Persecution of Falun Gong in China" and "Overseas
Practitioners' Activities to Resist the Persecution." Every photo has an
introductory description. "Falun Dafa Is Good" presents photos of Falun Gong's founder
lecturing in different countries, large-scale group practices, and group
studies. "The Persecution" section reviews the April 25 public appeal
in 1999, the CCP's campaign to destroy Falun Gong materials, and its brutal
torture of practitioners. "The Resisting Persecution" section
highlights activities of overseas practitioners to resist the persecution such
as anti-torture exhibitions in Manhattan, grand parades, and candlelight vigils.
The exhibit also includes several artworks from the
"Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" exhibit. People now and then stop to view the exhibition. The exhibit will run through April 7. In the evening on April 7, the Falun
Gong Club will hold a candlelight vigil to commemorate the practitioners killed
by the CCP in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp and to call on New Yorkers to
condemn the CCP's atrocities. |
