Brian Ler on WNYC, and again, this drive, we're doing a 10-question quiz each day to have a little

fun and break things up a little bit around 11 o'clock. Every day, it's been a different theme to test your knowledge, get two in a row right,

and today you'll be able to choose between the two t-shirts that were having a little

bake-off between the 1960s themed Peace Love and Brian Lair, tie-dye t-shirt or the 1930s themed WNYC vintage van t-shirt.

Today's theme is New York area landmarks.

Our lines are full, but as people finish up, you can try to get in at 212-433.

WNYC for today's 10-question quiz. We'll start with Brian and Battery Park City.

Hi, Brian. Ready to play?

Hi, I think so.

Okay. This summer, question one, we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence

celebrating the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit

of happiness. That line was one of the inspirations for the French sculptor who proposed giving

the U.S. a Statue of Liberty in 1865. Declaration of Independence was one of the inspirations for the Statue of Liberty gift.

What was the other major inspiration in 1865?

And I've got a hint if you need it.

The hint would be open.

Just simply that I said the proposal was first made in the year 1865.

Think about that time and what might have inspired a statue of liberty right then.

The civil war.

Yes, the abolition of slavery as symbolized by the broken shackle and the chains at the statue's feet once it got made.

Question two for one of the shirts, what two city parks host a Grand Army Plaza at their entrance?

And I'll have a clue for you for this one too if you need it.
