If you’ve ever made the trip to Washington, D.C., you’ve likely visited the White House and in the small park in front of it, you’ve likely noticed an aging protester at the helm of an encampment.

She is Concepcion “Connie” Picciotto, 77, and she has kept a peace vigil in front of the presidential residence since the 1980s.
