We do love a good protest in Asheville. In fact, Asheville is home to so many protesters protesting a variety of protestable matters, it’s easy to overlook them at times. But one aspect of protest in Asheville I truly do find impressive: the sheer perseverance of some folks. In other words, some of our protesters are pretty long in the tooth, but they never quit. They just won’t give up, and when you dig in a little bit, the reasons for their tenacity are pretty compelling.
