On a warm night in late September, in arguably , passersby in downtown Durham averted their eyes from a progressive protest.
Six demonstrators held signs and handed out flyers. "Say no to animal abuse," one sign read. Another: "Your choice MATTERS. You can stop the VIOLENCE."
At their center, five protesters in sunglasses held TVs and a laptop and stood back-to-back to form what they called "The Cube of Truth." The screens displayed of cruelty on factory farms: Piglets, beaten against the cement; chicks, slowly pulverized alive.
