What makes Occupy different: inclusion | Manissa McCleave Maharawal

The great thing about this movement is that 99% going to hear all voices - even what you do not want to hear

Recently, employees of the financial sector rose above the graves of Africans in their way through each day Zuccotti Park. Traders throughout the capitalist world has made the pilgrimage to the Stock Exchange, where slaves were once the shares. And only a few could enter the inner sanctums of Wall Street, the street where they built a wall to stop the Indians.

space on Wall Street has changed several times as I can remember. And that can change once again.

On September 29, I missed my trip with a friend to hold Wall Street. In a way, dodging tourists and construction workers, ending at Ground Zero. The scenery was strange. We rode in the half shade of buildings. Sparkled and twisted in the air. But it also seemed as bare steel red stitching her way out of their tops, sides, spilling their guts for all to see

We were confused when we arrived at the Freedom Square, but the place was small. There was a lot of young white children, but not only young white children. There were older people, mothers with children, and many more people of color than I expected: a relief. We sat on the stairs and saw mill in the world around us, not knowing what to do with themselves. But in this space, also called: a dining table, a library, a lively press

I went to Occupy

Wall Street with a group of other South Asians from a "South Asia for justice" meeting. We have seen that goes around the occupants and the reading of a piece of paper that had the "Declaration of the occupation of Wall Street" on it. I had heard the night before, my friend Sonny. When reading aloud, echoing all the lines of "being a single race, the human race, divided by race, class ..." hit me in the stomach, and ingenuity was alienating. My friend and I looked at each other, but discarded.

Then we realized it was actually a very important document and it would be sent into the world and read by thousands. If we enter the world of writing in this way, a line that alienate people like me and make this movement would not be able to follow. I felt an urgent need to do something. I could not escape.

There is something intense to speak before hundreds of people, but there is something more intense speech before hundreds of people lined up that you feel when you say something you do want to hear. It is even

• more
• intense when people say every word you say back to you - as soon as the right to use microphones in several public spaces, is and the General Assembly. Listen to the voice in an echo chamber, ensures that his words mean something.

And so when we finally got the attention of all, I carefully explained that I wanted a small change in the language, but a serious ethical change in weight. Not that we agree with our common humanity, of course. But the history of oppression in this document is deleted
