Statue of a fearless girl just installed facing Wall Street’s famous charging bull (and you won’t believe who did it and why!)

The statue of the girl is expected to stay for at least a month but, who knows, with all of the positive attention it’s receiving…perhaps it will become a permanent fixture.  Let’s hope the same can be said of her message.

More reaction!…
