Being "Wide Awake" in 1856, getting "Woke" in 2016

In the years leading up to the Civil War there was a progressive movement called the Wide Awakes. Chas mentioned them a few times on the old boards. It struck me today that the same imagery of being "awakened" is being used today by social progressives in the wake of the police shootings of black men. People are talking of "getting woke".
