  • October 7, 2011 - Atlanta, Georgia: Hundreds of people, including congressman John Lewis,  gathered in Woodruff Park for Occupy Atlanta's first public gathering.<br />
<br />
During the General Assembly meeting at Occupy Atlanta people raise their hands in the air to express agreement or approval of an issue being presented.<br />
<br />
Congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis visited the Occupy Atlanta rally at Woodruff Park  approximately 45 minutes after its planning session, or General Assembly, started. Despite saying he did not want to speak, the civil rights icon was invited to address to the crowd. <br />
<br />
When the topic of allowing Lewis to speak was presented to the group, "Joe" (pictured in red) held up his arms to "block" Lewis from speaking.<br />
<br />
"Joe" said he was against Lewis speaking because the movement is "not about one individual" and that it has been built on the idea of "no hierarchy." The crowd decided the congressman could speak after the General Assembly, but Lewis had to leave for a previous engagement.<br />
<br />
"I support the protesters in New York and here," Lewis told me before leaving Woodruff Park. "It is the right time and the right place to be... It is the will of the people. When I was young we did similar actions. It is grassroots democracy at its best. I think something good will come of the moment."

  • ATLANTA, GA - SEPT 16, 2009: Former president Jimmy Carter visited Emory for his 28th annual Carter Town Hall meeting for Emory University's 1,300 freshmen, in which Carter responds to students questions. This year's event took place against a backdrop of Carter's comment the previous day, quoted by Fox News, that Congressman Joe Wilson's outburst during President Obama's recent speech to Congress was "based on racism."<br />
<br />
The questions at the Emory event said as much about Carter as it did about the students, many of whom spent the Q&A period texting on their cell phones. The opening question of the evening was what he thought of Kanye West's outburst at the VMA Music awards. Carter responded that he thought it was uncalled for.<br />
<br />
Midway through the hour-long session, he took a question about Obama and racism and responded, "When a radical fringe element of demonstrators and others begin to attack the president of the United States as an animal or as a reincarnation of Adolf Hitler, or when they wave signs in the air that say that we should have buried Obama with Kennedy, those kind of attacks are beyond the bounds of the way presidents have ever been accepted, even with people who disagree [with them]. I think people who are guilty of that type of personal attack against Obama have been influenced to a major degree by a belief that he should not be president because he is African-American. It's a racist attitude."<br />
<br />
The final question addressed how he upheld his obligations to  his family when he was president. "My family took care of me," he responded, and with that he left the stage and immediately went to Rosalynn Carter, his wife of 57 years, took her hand and exited.
