Occupy Wall Street Photos

To mark the Common Experience theme of Freedoms: The First Amendment, photographs of Occupy Wall Street are on exhibit in Lampasas Hall, fourth floor hallway. Photographed by Texas State alumnus and Honors College graduate, Louie D. Valencia, the photos show scenes from October in Zuccotti Park just as the OWS demonstrations had their start. Sponsored by the Honors College, the exhibit is intended to provoke conversations about First Amendment, not to promote any one opinion. Feel free to add to the conversation by posting your comment(s) on the bulletin board near the exhibit.
