Passengers wait at a bus stop near a Statue of Liberty in the Vila Kennedy slum of Rio de Janeiro, June 9, 2008.  The neighborhood began as a low cost housing project, funded mostly by the Kennedy administration's Alliance for Progress program of the 1960s and was originally to be named the VIla Progresso, but later changed to VIlla Kennedy to honor the slain president. The statue, made by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, who also designed the more famous statue in New York, was donated by a US ambassador in 1964 when the complex as inaugurated.
