We resurrected this photo from the Occupy Greensboro March a couple of months ago because today's first-of-the-month theme for the City Daily Photo community is action shot. Well, we haven't taken many action shots this month and, above, there is lots of action, literal and conceptual! We don't know about the rest of the USA, but the Occupy Greensboro group was very well mannered and many of the marchers were either in college or college graduates. Several university professors participated.
Today's photo should appeal to the international crowd as the young man in the front is carrying a sign that reads, "we are the power" in French. "Nous sommes le pouvoir" right here on Elm Street in front of the International Civil Rights Museum, says the man with the mohawk.
Glenwood Coffee and Books is actually hosting a planning meeting for Occupy Greensboro today so, the cause is neither gone nor forgotten.
As for the City Daily Photo theme day:
Spam shopping messages are rampant. I think I've got them all deleted. The message generating software is getting really good at making the messages seem like they are real! Please don't buy anything from the spammers! They have even found a way to get past our "enter a pass code." One blogger makes you click "I am not a spammer." Maybe THAT works.
I say, Occupy the internet with NON-Spammers!
