Emotionally intense images of retired Philadelphia police captain Ray Lewis - who has joined the #OccupyWallStreet protests - being arrested by the NYPD.

"And yet the world we live in - its divisions and conflicts, its widening gap between the rich and poor, its seemingly inexplicable outbursts of violence - is shaped far less by what we celebrate and mythologize than by the painful events we try to forget.  Leopold's Congo is but one of those silences in history" - Adam Hochschild
