Lennon Wall

Here is the Lennon Wall. After John Lennon died this wall was covered in graffitti. Czech "hippies" painted John's face on the wall along with lyrics from his songs and the Beatles. Everyday the wall was re-painted white by police. However still the wall continued to be covered during the night. The wall became a symbol of freedom and a popular gathering spot. After the Velvet Revolution the wall legally gets to keep it's colors, which are constantly changing.
