NEW YORK - NEW YORK (AP) - Occupy Wall Street protesters have celebrated Christmas with prayers and a reading of a Martin Luther King speech in Manhattan's Zuccotti Park.
Police evicted protesters from the privately owned public space in November.
Christmas Day at Zuccotti -- the 100th day of the first demonstrations -- started with a prayer service in the park. Breakfast was served in the morning.
At noon yesterday, a 1967 speech by King was read -- one in which the civil rights leader expressed opposition to the Vietnam War.
Other Christmas activities at Zuccotti Park included music and a poetry reading.
