At 5:00pm today Revolutionary War Reenactors will meet Occupy Wall Street Protestors who are marching from NYC to Washington DC and escort them through Trenton, New Jersey’s capital. The Occupiers will follow Route 206 out of Princeton.
16 year old Ari Wei of Fair Lawn, NJ joined the 6th US Colored Troops/1st Rhode Island Revolutionary War Regiment last spring and is one of the individuals who will escort the Occupiers. Ari says, “Joining with Occupy Wall Street as a colored troop reenactor is an exciting experience. Two of my passions – history and social justice – will come together today. Good thing my school is closed for a teacher’s conference so I can participate without having to play hooky.”
