A Hundred Circling Camps

During the summer of 1932, over 20,000 people hopped trains to Washington D.C. and camped out to demand fair pay for veterans of the World War. The legacy of the Bonus Army is written into our laws and culture, but the march has been largely forgotten. As America protests and forgets and protests and forgets, what is carried forward? Touching on the Poor People’s Campaign, Occupy Wall Street and other protest camps, A Hundred Circling Camps explores what it means to live in public as an act of resistance.

Daisy VIolet The Bitch Beast king

Up in their attic, sisters Josephine and Henrietta create a new sister for their family; she's gleeful and monstrous and embodies everything they've dreamed of: the rage of children, the fury of girls.
