In a taped interview for "Reuters Insider," Ralph Young, a lecturer in history at Temple and author of Dissent in America, compared the Occupy Wall Street protest with protests of the past, and responded to the question: Does Occupy Wall Street have a strong chance at longevity? "When you look at past protest movements, such as the Civil Rights Movement, it started at a grassroots level but very quickly it began to organize and foster charismatic leaders. Occupy Wall Street is still grassroots, but leaders may emerge," said Young.
