October 30, 1974. The US government was trying to deport John Lennon because of his support for the peace movement during the Vietnam war so Bob Gruen suggested they take a picture at the Statue of Liberty to illustrate that America was supposed to welcome people. Since Lennon';s death, this photo has taken on a new meaning as people think of John Lennon in terms of personal freedom similar to the Statue of Liberty.
