Ninety Year Old Political Activist And Protester Hedy Epstein Arrested. Again...

I've been protesting against injustices since I was a teenager. I didn't think I'd still be doing it when I was ninety said Hedy Epstein as she
was arrested yet again.
A resident of St Louis, a political activist, speaker and Holocaust survivor, she's widely known for her support of the Free Gaza Movement.
When arrested, Hedy was one of the people 'failing to disperse' from the Kiener Plaza in St Louis while protesting against the shooting of Ferguson teenager Michael Brown.
We need to stand up to injustices today so people won't have to when they're ninety said the gutsy grandmother.
I don't know Hedy. Sadly I don't think things are going to change for the better anytime soon...
