International Business, Times. “Occupy Atlanta Protesters Ignore Police Order to Leave Woodruff Park.” International Business Times Nov. 0010: Regional Business News. Web. 2 Feb. 2016.
International Business Times, an online news publication, reports in their article, “Occupy Atlanta Protesters Ignore Police Order to Leave Woodruff Park” that “Several hundred protesters [occupied] Woodruff Park in Atlanta…in the latest outgrowth of a national movement that began [the previous month] with Occupy Wall Street.” They provide statements from the protest representatives involved and their reasons for protest, while explaining how they relate to historical views of Martin Luther King Jr in his “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” in 1963.” They also shed light on similar protests that occur in other cities, such as Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles. The intended audience for this article would be someone interested in historical occurrences of civil rights activism in Atlanta and it would be a useful source for them to use as an example of this.
Interesting source. How do you see this being useful for our study of the built environment of Atlanta?
