Bob Marley & The Wailers – "Get Up, Stand Up" (1973)
2011/11/07
If the freedom of speech is being suppressed by public officials in your town or city, as they are in mine, Rochester, NY, I encourage you to "get up, stand up, stand up for your right!"
"There is no reason that Rochester should be the only city in New York state where the police have to come in — with huge wastes of city resources — and drag people out of the park every single night. It is absolutely ridiculous," said Ryan Acuff of Occupy Rochester. "The city, Mayor Richards, should be here applauding people who are civically engaged, concerned about the issues and want to fight for equality in this community."
