"...woman so destitute her only possession was her mattress. Every morning, she would carry it to the bank and pawn it. With that money, she'd buy potatoes, sell them for a profit during the day and buy back her mattress at night."

Dr. Cornel West Ignites OWS NYC (by JRL)

I adore Dr Cornel West. This video of him speaking at Occupy Wall Street in Liberty Plaza is so inspirational. The protestors repeat his words as a “people’s mic” because bullhorns  (megaphones) are banned. The effect is really powerful, like a “repeat  after me” … of love. I love it when he says, “I’ve been spiritually  break dancing all the way here!”
