Fearless Girl statue to remain on Wall Street

NEW YORK: The statue of the ‘Fearless Girl’ that defies the fearsome Wall Street bull will remain in place for another year, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio announced. “Sometimes a work of art captures a moment in history and that’s what's happened here,” de Blasio said on Monday in reference to Donald Trump becoming the US President, and which, he believes,“bodes difficult times for women, the city and the nation”, Efe news reported. But then “this miraculous girl appears and creates such a powerful sensation because she spoke to the moment,” the mayor told the media while standing by the statue, which he called a symbol of "standing up to fear, standing up to power, being able to find in yourself the strength to do what's right.” IANS
