Wyclef Jean

Wyclef is a musician that tried to unite as many musicians at once as possible. I am trying to be successful at that. The greatest challenge is that, I just got arrested for protesting in NYC for cutting the school budgets... And I think that it's important to stand up. Schools are important.

American Musician

Public Discontent

Not all protests are peaceful; some may involve violence, but the term itself doesn't imply this.

Peaceful or Violent

In many democracies, protesting is a right, but non-democratic regions might not allow it.

Rights and Protests

As a verb, 'protest' means to actively show your disagreement or discontent, not just to feel it.
