If you live near Broadway between 95th & Columbus Circle and heard throngs of people chanting folk songs last night, you weren’t alone.
Occupy Wall Street made its way north on Friday night for a 30+ block march from Symphony Space at Broadway & 95th down to Columbus Circle. Folk music legends Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie led the procession.
ABC Eyewitness filed the video report above, which was filmed at Symphony Space before protesters began their march down Broadway. You can read some additional coverage by WSJ, USA Today, and Demotix.
