Mel King tells Occupy Boston "You have a right to revolution."

Speaking at a small gathering at encuentro5 (a space in Chinatown for community and progressive groups) a week before Occupy Boston's eviction from Dewey Square, Mel King praised Occupy Boston and drew parallel's between it and the 1968 Tent City he helped create.

King also told the Boston occupiers, "You have the right to alter and change. You have that right. You are deserving, and no change comes to any individual or group until they assert themselves that they are deserving...Your message is getting into peoples minds and you're saying 'we are deserving," and added "You have the right to revolution."
