St. Louis Today reported:
“Jonathan Butler, a central figure in the protests at the University of Missouri, is an Omaha native and the son of a railroad vice president, the Omaha World-Herald reports.
Butler refused food last week in a move to force the university system’s president, Timothy M. Wolfe, from office. Wolfe resigned Monday and Butler ended his hunger strike.
Jonathan Butler played high-school football at Omaha Central High, where he won a state championship, and earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Mizzou, the newspaper reports. He is working toward a master’s degree in educational leadership and policy.
He is a member of a prominent Omaha family. The newspaper says that Butler’s father is Eric L. Butler, executive vice president for sales and marketing for the Union Pacific Railroad. His 2014 compensation was $8.4 million, according to regulatory filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

So often these protesters are from quite privileged families. Perhaps you recall Grayson Vreeland? No? That's because you probably know her as Ketchup.
Steven Colbert made her famous when she identified as a female-bodied person using the name Ketchup.
" many people wonder who was that girl "Ketchup" on The Colbert Report. So our investigative team began to do their research. What they found out that "Ketchup" was not really part of the 99% but more of the 1% of America. Her name is Grayson Vreeland, a Communications Undergraduate from Northwestern University, that has been acting since she was in grade school."
