Categories :
On August 14 1945, a celebration was taking place in Times Square, New York. Japan had just agreed with the Terms of the Potsdam Conference stating the unconditional surrender of Japan. Photographs of the celebrations around the United States were published in Life magazine. One particular photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt known as V-J Day in Times square became famous.
Sarasota is home to a 27 foot statue by Seward Johnson resembling this famous photograph. The statue sits at the waterfront area of Sarasota just in front of Marina Jack.
