the Atlantic City NJ Boardwalk as a part of a fun tourism project. The project
is set to continue with more sculptures this coming year.To find out more

Mark
Twain didn't last very long on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. He created a huge
controversy when he was installed and after just a few weeks he was removed
from the boardwalk. I have always been a Mark Twain fan because of his honesty
and his integrity. I read all his books when I was growing up and got to know
even more about him when I did some research for this project. He was a true
humanitarian and in his day that took a lot of guts. I was truly mystified when
he was called a racist by some people in Atlantic City. It stirred up so much
controversy that he had to be removed. The local story grew into a national
and international story. One of the things that I am very pleased about is that
because of the controversy a lot more people got to know him better and in so
doing their quality of thinking was effected in a positive way. Good for you
Mark!
