Time magazine has named its 2011 “Person of the Year,” and this year the title goes to “The Protester.”
“No one could have known that when a Tunisian fruit vendor set himself on fire in a public square, it would incite protests that would topple dictators and start a global wave of dissent,” the announcement reads. “In 2011, protesters didn’t just voice their complaints; they changed the world.”
