Flash mobs began as a form of performance art.[18] While they started as an apolitical act, flash mobs may share superficial similarities to political demonstrations. In the 1960s, groups such as the Yippies used street theatre to expose the public to political issues.[26] Flash mobs can be seen as a specialized form of smart mob,[7] a term and concept proposed by author Howard Rheingold in his 2002 book Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution.[27]
Now and then out of the void flashed the great sword of hate to remindme of the battle. I remember once, in Nashville, brushing by accidentagainst a white woman on the street. Politely and eagerly I raised myhat to apologize. That was thirty-five years ago. From that day to thisI have never knowingly raised my hat to a Southern white woman.
New York and twilight, there where the Sixth Avenue "L" rises and leapsabove the tenements into the free air at 110th Street. It circles like abird with heaven and St. John's above and earth and the sweet green andgold of the Park beneath. Beyond lie all the blue mists and mysteries ofdistance; beneath, the city rushes and crawls. Behind echo all the roarand war and care and maze of the wide city set in its sullen darkeningwalls, flashing weird and crimson farewells. Out at the sides the starstwinkle.
