A speech on the radio. A high school
literature class. A promise made to a mother. Activism begins in
small ways and in unexpected places. In this inspiring book, over forty
activists recount the experiences that sparked their journeys and share
the beliefs that keep them going. These are ordinary citizens who met
challenge with action. Their visions for peace, equality, and justice
have reshaped American society - from voting to reproductive rights, and
from the environment to the economy. This book brings together multiple
generations and different (sometimes opposite) perspectives. But their
powerful narratives and KK Ottesen's luminous photographs reveal the
passion, purpose, and optimism that unite these diverse figures.
Collectively, their stories remind us that anyone can take the future
into their own hands.
