Description:

Originally, my piece was going to be a profile of all the people who hang out on a particular downtown Durham street corner every Saturday, protesting the war. I went to these interviews a little exasperated with the downtown protest group, even though I'd never met any of them. Standing on a street corner seemed a very passive way of protesting, and one that obviously wasn't working. I still think it's going to take more to stop the war than holding a sign and hoping people read it, but making this piece helped me understand why Alan Wolf feels that he has to participate in this particular protest-- if he doesn't, who will?
