Eyewitness NewsNEW YORK -- Occupy Wall Street protesters say they're planning to celebrate Christmas with a day of food, music and political discussion in New York's Zuccotti Park. The holiday will be the 100th day since the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations began in lower Manhattan on Sept. 17. Organizers say they will hold a midnight prayer service early Sunday morning, then serve breakfast at 9 a.m.
At noon they will read a 1967 speech by Martin Luther King Jr. opposing the Vietnam War.
That will be followed by a potluck, a communion service and several hours of poetry, storytelling and music.---
