Martin Luther King honoured with wave of injustice protests
On the first King holiday since the now-global Occupy movement was launched in New York City in September, the reignited debate over inequality drew protesters to march in below-freezing temperatures from the African Burial Ground to the Federal Reserve in downtown Manhattan.
“What Occupy Wall Street is trying to do is exactly what (King) was trying to — focus on economic injustice and to inform and educate the American public,” said Norman Siegel, former director of the New York Civil Liberties Union.
