The Occupy Wall Street movement has been growing and spreading over the last month or more, with angry working-class people gathering to voice their outrage at corporate america in every major city and even some smaller towns across the country. Sunday the 9th Kansas City's branch of the movement featured bands and speakers gathered at Liberty Memorial Park. Jah Kings played positive, energetic reggae music that perfectly embodied the spirit of the movement.
Since September 30th a growing number of activists representing the "99%" have been gathering in Kansas City in solidarity with the numerous Occupy movements going on across the nation. The number of protesters swelled on Sunday when an organized gathering of peaceful protesters came together to listen to music and speakers who share a common message.
Jah Kings, a band from Springfield, Missouri were just one of the many groups that happily joined the event to profess their message of peace, love and truth. Their funky reggae tunes summoned several protesters to dance in front of their stage while hundreds of others sat and stood by, listening to the meaningful lyrics and upbeat instrumentals of the band.
Following the band's performance several speakers took the stage to explain their various perspectives on the corruption and flaws in the country's current system of corporate control and government compliance. After the speakers finished, the group of several hundred protesters marched through Kansas City to express their peaceful message of a need for change.
