Don't try this at home kids, especially if your home is Bahrain, China, Saudi Arabia or Iran.
Here in America we say " Hooray for our signs". In Downtown Buffalo today, thousands  exercised their First Amendment rights of assembly and free speech. The No Hate, No Mandate rally took place in Niagara Square to coincide, in solidarity, with the Women's March On Washington.

McKinley Monument

McKinley Monument, Niagara Square

The Egyptian revival obelisk stands 96' high at the center of Niagara Square. The marble monument, flanked by sculptures of four sleeping lions, was dedicated on September 6th 1907. President William McKinley was shot at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo on that date six years previous. The sculpture stands as a tribute to the man and the lasting reverence the city and the nation had for the 25th President of the United States.
