Peaceful Protests: Voices for Equality

Tamra B Orr

Around the world, peaceful protests have successfully changed the course of history in the fight for equality. The suffragettes marched for the right to vote. Young women risked their lives for a better education, and immigrants past and present have struggled onward toward dreams of US citizenship. Through all their hardships, they have wielded a powerful tool: the right to peacefully protest injustice, and to raise their voices so that the world can hear their cry for equality. As a perfect non-fiction narrative for young learners! Peaceful Protests: Voices for Equality celebrates individuals and organizations all over the world in the fight for equality who achieved their greatest victories through peaceful protests. Young readers will learn about peaceful protest methods such as marches, rallies, sit-ins, vigils, boycotts, and marching with picket signs. They will also learn about influential individuals and collective groups such as Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the "Silent Sentinels", Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal, Malala Yousafzai, Kainat Riaz, and the 2017 Women's March. Learn about the women's suffrage movement, gender equality, economic, immigrant, education, and LGBTQ+ equality. It also features historical photos, a chronological timeline, chapter notes, further reading recommendations, and an index.
