Inspiring Photos from the Facebook Group Behind Egypt's Revolution 
The revolution in Egypt is fueled by decades of repressed struggle and a yearning to breathe free. The protests in Tahrir Square, however, are also the product of some well-timed online organizing that has coalesced around a six-month-old Facebook group. "We are all Khaled Said" was created anonymously and named after a blogger who was brutally beaten to death and left in the street by Egyptian authorities. It slowly grew to become the online version of Tahrir Square, a central meeting place for the vanguard of the opposition calling for an end to Mubarak's rule. We now know the page was created by activist and Google executive, Wael Ghonim, who served two weeks in Egyptian prison for his online efforts. He's recently been released and is reluctantly taking credit for the page. "We are all Khaled Said" has amassed more than 600,000 fans and evolved into a central news hub for the movement as well as a place to share photos. See a few of the most inspiring, striking, and chilling images from the group here. Read and discuss
