"Brilliant colors and dramatic contrast burst from the pages of this age-appropriate primer on the history and power of protests in the United States." – Foreword Reviews

When rights need expanding, or wrongs need repair
Americans argue. We march and we cheer.
We write songs and speeches. We go volunteer.
