Over the next few weeks I will be writing a series of posts that compare and contrast The Occupy Movement with The Civil Rights Movement. I will speak with people who lived through both Civil Rights and Occupy participants across the country, as well.

It is not my goal to prove that one is better than the other. Rather, I am interested in discussing what common ground these two political groups share, how they differ, and how the media has influenced each.

Above all, I think both movements are reminders of how far we still have to go.

Please feel free to comment on these posts. I want to know what you have to say
