Greensboro, NC
January 22-23, 2005

Eyes Wide Open had an amazing visit to Greensboro in January. More than 3,100 people attended and/or volunteered for the exhibit at the Depot, a restored train station. Over 1,300 pairs of boots were displayed on its marble floor, including a separate circle of those from North Carolina and hundreds of pairs of empty shoes symbolizing the untold thousands of Iraqi civilian deaths. The names of the soldiers who have died and the name of their home states were read one after another, a bell ringing with each one.
