The main objectives of the Occupy Wall Street Movement was to place on the national political agenda the critical issues of economic inequity, greed, corruption and the undue influence of corporations on government—particularly from the financial services sector. The OWS slogan "We are the 99%" refers to income and wealth disparity in the U.S. between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population. They used Civil Disobedience to get their point over. The movement was brutally suppressed by the City and the State of New York.

In October 2001, the tree was discovered at Ground Zero severely damaged, with snapped roots and burned and broken branches. The tree was removed from the rubble and placed in the care of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. After its recovery and rehabilitation, the tree was returned to the Memorial in 2010. New, smooth limbs extended from the gnarled stumps, creating a visible demarcation between the tree’s past and present. Today, the tree stands as a living reminder of resilience, survival and rebirth.
