Howard University students, faculty and alumni are set to join Occupy DC protesters on a march to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Friday to protest unemployment and call for more effective job creation. They’re the latest group to fall in step with the movement that’s set up camp in McPherson Square and Freedom Plaza over the past four weeks — a movement whose goals seem as numerous as its protesters. In McPherson Square, slogans on tents call for everything from relieving student debt to ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to halting police brutality.

But today’s protest, organizer Talib Karim said, is designed not only to protest inequality but to bring the black community into the Occupy movement.
