This combination photo shows Prague's "Lennon Wall" on Oct. 29, 2014, top, and on Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2014, after it was painted white in Prague, Czech Republic. Under the former communist regime the wall was a place where young people gathered to commemorate John Lennon and express their hope for freedom, leaving images and messages. A group of art students on Monday claimed responsibility for painting it white and leaving a single message: "The Wall is over."
