Photo by myself in Tompkins Square Park, in Alphabet City.
The Occupy Wall Street movement held a peaceful rally Sunday afternoon.
There was a drum circle, loads of signs and general protest about the disparity of wealth in the US. The drum circle was particularly effective - you could hear the persistent thumping for blocks.
Tompkins Square has long been associated with social unrest. In the late '80s, the park was filled with the homeless and was considered dangerous.

le mouvement c'est un peu éteint en Europe , mais je vois que cela continue sur NYC
Hi Kitty! Will this movement have any influence on the run for the White House?
I don't hear much about the Occupy movement lately. Glad they're still showing up, though I can't say I'm optimistic about their accomplishing much.
