The Goddess of Democracy Witnesses Olympic Torchbearers in San Francisco
This was the scene today in historic Portsmouth Square in San Francisco’s Chinatown - the mayor signing autographs after announcing a list of some of the torchbearers who will relay around the city on April 9th.
In the foreground is another kind of torchbearer, the Goddess of Democracy. Some might have preferred to cover her up with a tarp as was done before, but she was pretty much ignored today.
Let’s not forget about her, in all this Olympic excitement.
