Newsies Flash Mob - SF

It's 1899 in NYC and Pulitzer and Hearst have raised newspaper prices, enraging the already struggling newspaper boys (or newsies). Inspired by recent labor strikes, the newsies join forces and call a strike of their own, spontaneously busting out into song and dance against "The Man"

It's June 2nd, 2007 at 12:00noon at Union Square in San Francisco and a mass of people have joined together in flashmob fashion to celebrate their love of the movie/musical - "Newsies" - as well as send the kind of message of solidarity and justice that is simply timeless.

What is a flash mob? It's a gathering of random people in a public place to perform something unusual and then disperse quickly.
