These are the paintings Mayor Giuliani has repeatedly ordered the NYPD to confiscate and destroy and has attempted to censor from television and newspaper coverage of the Diallo protests. Their titles include, "Adolf Fooliani", "So Many To Arrest, So Little Time", "Only 41 Shots?", "Giuliani = Police State" and "Me...A Racist?".

Lederman has been arrested 36 times to date for opposing Mayor Giuliani's oppressive police state by his paintings, protest organizing, speeches and writing. For extensive information on the street artist, vendor and Diallo issues please go to: http://www.openair.org/alerts/artist/nyc.html.
