Resist! Peaceful Acts That Changed the World (Stanley)

From music to marches, sit-ins to walk-outs, activists throughout history have stood up for the disenfranchised and demanded reform, never backing down despite violent oppression and overwhelming opposition. Today, a new generation of activists is speaking out in unprecedented numbers against systemic oppression, bias, and injustice. *Resist!* is a collection of 21 brief yet comprehensive essays, enriched with striking artwork and supplementary material by Diane Stanley, that highlights the activists who came before us—men and women who used peaceful resistance and non-violent protest to make their voices heard. Featured figures include Harriet Tubman, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Woody Guthrie, Mohandas Gandhi, Irena Sendler, The Hollywood Ten, Claudette Colvin, Rosa Parks, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Greensboro Lunch Counter Sit-in protestors, Martin Luther King, Jr., Larry Itliong, Dolores Huerta, Cesar Chavez, Richard Oakes, the Tree-Sitters of Pureora, Father Luis Olivares, Tank Man, Nelson Mandela, Ryan White, Ai Weiwei, the "It Gets Better" Project, the March For Our Lives protestors, and Greta Thunberg.
