Photo was taken from the Staples Center in Los Angeles where the Democratic National Convention 2000 was being held. View shows crowds of people gathered in a designated fenced-off area across the street from the Staples Center. L.A.P.D. officers lined the streets for added security as the Democratic Convention was taking place. In the background, images of the nation's Democratic heroes were painted on three downtown highrises as part of a way to welcome the DNC, and part of Apple Computer's "Think Different" campaign. The 12-story, 3-building "Think Different" mural could be seen by those attending the Democratic Convention. The murals featured from l-r: First building, Ce´sar Cha´vez (top), and Bobby Kennedy; Second building, Franklin D. Roosevelt; Third building, Martin Luther King, Jr. (top) and Eleanor Roosevelt.
