A single viral image converted an Egyptian bystander into a revolutionary

Evidence

Gehad had stayed home—not out of fear, but because she didn’t think much was going to happen that day. Protests like this at Tahrir had been happening for years, and despite the events in Tunisia, she figured this one would peter out like all the rest. But then she saw the image of a man facing down a police vehicle, impervious to the blast of its water cannon, and something stirred inside her. She knew she was going to join this revolt. — Vincent Bevins, If We Burn, 220
