What became of the Occupy DC protesters in McPherson Square?
The Occupiers arrived in D.C. last October and finally disbanded in June. At its peak the tent city in McPherson Square housed about 200 protesters, though a police crack down on camping in the park reduced their number. Those left moved to office space at 16th and L streets, the rent paid by the Service Employees International Union. While Occupy Wall Street celebrates its first anniversary this week in other cities, McPherson remains unoccupied.
