Reversing Vandalism: "The difference ... is intention."

fairiegodmother links to this online exhibit: Reversing Vandalism from the San Francisco Public Library. For those not familiar with the story, this is the SFPL's creative response to a massive vandalism attack discovered in early 2001, which defaced or destroyed some 600 books on lesbian, gay, transgender, feminist, and sexuality-related topics. Go see how some caring and creative people have taken positive action in the face of an act of crazed hate. Go, and be inspired.
