Jelani, a 16-year-old protester who traveled with his grandmother from Pontiac, Michigan to New York City for the Occupy Wall Street protests. "I had never slept on the street before," he says. His mom said it was okay to take time out from school, because he has a 4.0 GPA. What a cool kid, and what a cool mom and grandmother he has.

  • Great to see the youth of or nation taking action. He isn't even old enough to vote and he is getting active! Too much of our youth focuses on video games and other garbage than the important things. This young man is someone to be looked up to.

  • THAT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL.!!!! THANK YOU.

  • IDIOTS , where you were?, when your mad govt.s were telling continuously lie to you all (americans/english/israeli) . You see a series of lies in Iraq, Afghanistan. Taken over peace of others you beasts. Destroyed on the base of home work(9/11), now a kidding lie against Iran. Sons of bitches attacking with DRONES in Pakistan to take even bread from you.
