Faces in the Crowd
October 26th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
It’s not hard to find the worn and weary faces of the homeless dotting occupations across the country. The few I’ve spoken to in Atlanta range from articulate, well informed individuals to the deeply mentally disturbed.
Most of the homeless have been given food, basic medical treatment, and a place to sleep. Quite a few have taken up the call to arms and joined the ranks during marches, and stood their ground next to the occupiers when the police showed in force. The occupation seemed to give a few of these men and women a purpose, and a job, probably their first in years.
