Overblown rhetoric aside*, I support the protest and I'm planning to attend and get lots of pictures.
Sunday, June 6, 1pm
Grand Central Terminal
Meet at information kiosk
*Although banning subway photography does indeed infringe on First Amendment rights, I don't think it equates to pushing African Americans to the back of the bus, mainly because this MTA ban abridges one right, and Southern blacks were fighting for many rights--including the right not to be lynched for whistling at white women. I'll stand up for the right to free expression, but I won't pretend I'm Rosa Parks.
Let me know how this goes. I am keen to take photos of the NY subway on my trip over in August and I don't feel like being arrested.
