Port Authority Exercises Its Freedom To Be Practical

Patriotism gives way to marketability, as what was going to be the “Freedom Tower” will now be called “One World Trade Center.”

“As we market the building, we will ensure that the building is presented in the best possible way,” said Port Authority Chairman Anthony Coscia.

“One World Trade center is its address. It’s the address that we’re using. Its on the one that’s easiest for people to identify with and frankly we’ve gotten a very interested and warm reception to it.”

Why does the word “freedom” have a political connotation? Why is “One World Trade Center” better than “Freedom Tower”?
