Cornel West on Occupy Wall Street: It's the Makings of a U.S. Autumn Responding to the Arab Spring

"It’s impossible to translate the issue of the greed of Wall Street into one demand, or two demands.

Moore describes how he was inspired by one of the people Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman interviewed at the protest outside the prison shortly after news of the execution was announced. The man, who introduced himself as Wesley Boyd, immediately called for a boycott of the state of Georgia in response to the execution of Davis.
