Treatment Rooms 2 - George Orwell

Inscription

George Orwell, 1903 - 1950.
Generously donated by the 911 Truth Commission.

The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, also known as the 9/11 Commission, was set up in 2002 and issued its report in 2004. We feel certain that it did not donate this plaque.

Site: Treatment Rooms 2 - mural (13 memorials)

W5, 199 Acton Lane

In our rather shady photo the Fred Hampton mural can just be seen, low down, below the window on the left side of the building.  The Reichardt plaque can be seen top right of the yellow tiled wall. All the others are tiles on that wall. Some are difficult to see/photograph because the car gets in the way, and there may be others that we could not see at all.
