Wary of a massive demonstration, the regents met by conference call from four different campuses but were still forced to switch venues after being confronted by chanting students at three of the four sites.

Occupy Wall Street: l'année 2012 ressemblera-t-elle à 1968? Le mouvement d’Occupy Wall Street est-il comparable à la vague de protestations qui a profondément ébranlé les Etats-Unis en 1968 (manifestations contre la guerre du Vietnam, mouvement des droits civiques)? C’est la question que pose le journaliste John Heilemann du New York Magazine qui a réalisé une enquête auprès de nombreux activistes du mouvement de contestation né à New York en septembre 2011.
Selon lui, la ressemblance avec les événements de 1968 aux Etats-Unis pourrait se trouver dans la capacité des protestations actuelles à perturber l'élection présidentielle de 2012. John Heilemann rappelle en premier lieu que les manifestations pacifiques à New York ont pris une ampleur qui n’est pas si éloignée de celle du déferlement contestataire mondial de 1968.
L’absence de leader affiché est aussi un point qui rapproche Occupy Wall Street des événements de 1968. Peut-être que sur la question des revendications les deux mouvements se distinguent aussi, se demande alors John Heilemann.

From our good friends at occuprint.org Either you join the revolt taking place on Wall Street and in the financial districts of other cities across the country or you stand on the wrong side of history.
