Gallery: Tompkins Sq Park Legacy

In Avenue A, in front of the Tompkins Square Park, pro-homeless rights protesters are ready for the confrontation to NYPD's riot geared police, as the New York city government is planning the closure of the park. Many rights advocates have denounced the plan as a too drastic gentrification tool. In addition, courts have also swinged the decision of whether the city government has the right to close. New York, May 27, 1991.
