The “Audre Lorde to Howard Zinn” Library, at Occupy Boston on December 1, 2011. Nine days later the camp was evicted.
“They were true libraries, trusting and trusted places. They were well-lit and quiet, kept as warm as possible through the fall and into winter. You could feel in the air how much the people loved the libraries. In Toronto, when the eviction came, they chained themselves around the library. In DC during the eviction, the librarians accepted being locked in for hours without food or water or bathrooms just to protect their library”
- Quinn Norton, “A Eulogy for #Occupy”
