As the group flooded Wall Street in New York for the 19th-straight day, about 200 people rallied atOccupy Dallas on Thursday.
The demonstrators marched from Pike Park near the American Airlines Center to the Federal Reserve Bank on Pearl Street in downtown Dallas.

Occupy Wall Street is described on OccupyWallSt.org as a “leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that we are the 99 percent that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1 percent.”
