Wall Street protests continue
Monday marks the one month anniversary since the beginning of the Occupy Wall Street protests. What began as a group of demonstrators setting up shop in a small park in the heart of New York’s financial district has turned into a nationwide movement, with similar protests popping up in cities across the country. Protesters will be hoping for a peaceful morning, as police try to move them temporarily in order to clean the park. Nicholas Kristof, columnist for our partner The New York Times, gives us the big picture of what impact the protests will have.
