"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them..." Frederick Douglass

Photo O' The Day, September 22: Khaled Said on Berlin’s Wall


Khaled was the young man who filmed, perhaps inadvertently, Egyptian police doing a drug deal. They became aware and took him into custody where he was tortured and killed. The photos of his mutilated body were one of the sparks which set off the revolution. To honor him the Germans put him on The Wall.
