About the Book
"A long-format picture book that documents multiple marches and protests throughout America's history"--Book Synopsis
March through history and discover twenty-five groundbreaking protest movements that have shaped the way we fight for equality and justice today in this stunningly illustrated and sweeping book! For generations, marches have been an invaluable tool for bringing about social change. People have used their voices, the words on their signs, and the strength in their numbers to combat inequality, oppression, and discrimination. They march to call attention to these wrongs and demand change and action, from a local to a global scale. Whether demanding protective laws or advocating for equal access to things like voting rights, public spaces, and jobs, the twenty-five marches in this book show us that even when a fight seems impossible, marching can be the push needed to tip the scales and create a movement. This gorgeous collection celebrates this rich and diverse history, the often-overlooked stories, and the courageous people who continue to teach us the importance of coming together to march today.Review Quotes
* "All kinds of marches--many linked to children and youth--are described in lively language and illustrated with bright cartoons that emphasize diversity among participants and illustrate the banners and posters carried. ... Connections among marches and themes repeated due to unchanging social and political conditions are pointed out and are one of the book's strengths.... This inspiring book will encourage activism."--Kirkus Reviews - starred review "December 2020"
