Oh totally. In fact since that building is located between the Chinatown Bus depot (how I usually come in or out of nyc) and the subway, I make a point of looking at the busts every time I'm in NYC. If I remember right, it's Marx and three others right? Bebel... maybe two other semi-obscure german socialist figures?

It's also down the street from a small triangular park in which Debs stood and made a speech to tens of thousands of socialist garment worker jews and others at the outset of one of his presidential campaigns.
