Occupy DC, Erecting the Tent of Dreams
Loading...
Uploaded by ebecker2000 on Jan 31, 2012
As the noon deadline from the U.S. Park Police drew near, McPherson Square filled with Occupiers, supporters, reporters and bystanders for what was supposed to be a near final confrontation between police and occupiers over the enforcement of the no camping in the park regulation. But the police never showed, instead the demonstrators draped the statue of General James Birdseye McPherson, the only commander of a Union army to die in the field, with a huge blue tarp from the neck down, like a giant skirt attached at the bottom to the wrought Iron perimeter fence, Called the Tent of Dreams. Inside there was enough space to hold scores of smaller tents and open space where Occupiers planned to meet plan and and to dream. Bystanders, mostly from the surrounding downtown Washington office buildings, strolled through on their lunch break, and most expressing some degree of support.

Why did you interview white men only?

@OurFadedGarden Good point and not many women either!! The videographer went for those who looked like they were NOT going to be sympathetic to Occupy.
