When: September 14, 2004–February 1, 2005
Where: One Times Square, New York City, NY
Institute: National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)

An exhibit on the historic and contemporary connections between global drug trafficking and terrorism is opening at One Times Square in New York City and will run for four-and-a-half months. Entitled Target America: Drug Traffickers, Terrorists, and You, it is geared toward students, but large attendance by the general public is expected because of the high profile tourist location.

One of the exhibit's features is a Memorial Wall to individuals, famous and ordinary, who have lost their lives to drug abuse or addiction. Another section covers Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) topics, such as drug production and trafficking. The exhibit is coordinated by the DEA. Other agencies involved include NIDA, which has developed information and graphics for a photomural wall and the Memorial Wall, along with several other federal and private agencies.

The free exhibit is open every day of the week, from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
