Aww.. it's upsetting that Rockefeller would demand it to be covered. Good for Rivera for doing another one in a different location, though.

It's too bad that the painting was destroyed. I agree that it might have offended some people, but it's a mural of our history. It could have been used as a reflection into past events, more than just a pretty picture. Good thing he got to paint somewhere else though.
