I have a strong interest in graffiti, particularly within hip-hop, and the messages that are created exhibiting powerful messages, usually from a youth perspective. While looking for a link to some of these images, I came across this article about how Native Americans took over Alcatraz during the late 60's to send a message and they used graffiti as a medium.

By Cathy Lynn Grossman, USA TODAY When it comes to religion, the USA is now land of the freelancers. The percentage. of people who call themselves in some way Christian has dropped more than 11% in a generation. The faithful have scattered out of their traditional bases: The Bible Belt is less Baptist. I found it interesting that many religious groups are fading as time goes on. People are less likely to pinpoint a certain religious group that they are affiliated with. I know the Catholic Community took a bit hit in members being proud to say they are catholic when many altar boys were molested by some of their priests. http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/religion/2009-03-09-american-religion-ARIS_N.htm

This article talked about the Buffer zone that has been mandated throughout Massachusetts' health care facilities. The buffer zone outside of the Planned Parenthood in Boston has some committed anti-abortion protesters. The buffer zones are a way for patients seeking help to be freed from harassment from protesters. To some, these protesters are activists whose freedom of speech is being hindered.
