Remember, remember the Fifth of November

The Gunpowder Treason and Plot
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.

Let us not only dedicate this day but each day as a remembrance of those who exercise their voice - from 1605 to 2009, from London to Gaza, and all around the time spectrum and globe. And let us not only leave it as a remembrance but a reminder that we, too, have a voice.

Dates, historic figures, and revolutions...

Dates, historic figures, and revolutions are a part of what history encompasses. History continues to take its place, but when does one have the opportunity to live in a time where people still fight opposition?


Iranian supporters of reformist, Mir Hossein Mousavi, disturbed by the potential voting fraud, decided to flourish their once muted voice through peaceful and violent riots.

The protests are taking place in the larger cities of Iran. The picture above, set in Tehran, depicts one of the peaceful protests. Aside from the absence of violence, the discomfort is evident in some of their expressions.

It may not be a revolution itself, but these are changing moments. Patriarchal Iran does not equate women the same rights, so it is a revolutionary movement to see women fight back for a fellow civilian.
