In the middle of Manhattan’s Zuccotti Park, filled with Occupy Wall Street protesters and sleeping bags and cardboard signs, a chorus of voices announced Tuesday’s 10 a.m. speaker, come to teach investment theory and regulations to anyone willing to listen. The occupiers, who are not permitted to use amplified sound, called out each phrase of the announcement, pausing every couple of words so the sound would carry: “Amy Whitaker … teaching stock … market basics … at red structure … now.”
Whitaker wound through the encampment to the base of the shallow steps near the corner of Broadway and Cedar Street, in the shadow of the red Joie de Vivre statue. She wore a lanyard from California College of the Arts, where she also teaches, and handed out lecture notes from a manila folder. With a Yale MBA, an MFA in painting and a book on art, business and politics to her name, she’s used to teaching this subject to a different kind of crowd.
