From Bklyner: How an Angela Davis Quote Wound Up at the Barclays Center Subway Entrance

Update: as this photo taken 6/12/20 shows, the Roman ad was up at least through then, not 6/7/20 as stated in my article.


I have an article today in Bklyner, How an Angela Davis Quote Wound Up at the Barclays Center Subway Entrance.

As the subtitle says, "Credit an anonymous partner of the arena manager, which--surprise--controls that commercial space."

So it's a surprise to see a quote more radical than the Martin Luther King, Jr. quote in the arena oculus: "The time is always right to do what is right."

It's also a surprise that the arena controls that commercial space, which surely defrays some of the costs of the station naming rights.
