Scope and Contents

Noel Song (b. 1991) moved to Salt Lake City to attend the University of Utah. Noel was unable to afford the tuition for the fall 2011 semester and subsequently became interested in the Occupy Wall Street movement through internet research. Faced with having to move out of his parents' house, Noel chose to take part in the Occupy Salt Lake City movement. He attended the initial organizational meeting and took part in the march from the Capitol building to Pioneer Park. As of the interview date, Noel was camped at the Federal Reserve front, an unused property located at 147 South State Street. He articulates the political and economic issues that inspire his activism and expresses his idealist, "utopian" hopes for the movement's future.
