Occupy Denver 11-3-11:”Livin’ in the Land Where the Whip Still Cracks”


I went to Occupy Denver yesterday because Michael Moore was going to make an appearance, and I did get some footage of the statement he made. But before he arrived, this gentleman appeared, and made one of the most moving statements I have heard from the Occupy movement to date.
(Tech note: I’m having some difficulty with the auto-focus on my new camera, but I would encourage you to stick with it to the end. It’s well worth it.)

If anyone knows the poet’s name, please leave a comment.

Update: His name is Noah Gauthier. Thank you Noah Gauthier, you are a splendid and powerful poet.
