When news broke that Mubarak was stepping down, Takeaway listeners responded. Lindsay Knapp wrote to us:
When I said this morning that Egypt was having a 1776 moment, I had no idea how true it would be! 18 days of protest have changed a nation – congratulations to all the people of Egypt, and welcome to democracy.
And Cris in Brooklyn, N.Y., who’s part of the group Filipinos for Rights and Empowerment used the Takeaway iPhone app to send us a photo.
