"Resistance is the lifeblood of America," suggest Ken and Melanie Light, noting that, "When individuals gather for the higher good of our national community, there is a feeling of being deeply alive and deeply connected across all divides." From the upheaval of the 1950s through Black Lives Matter and March for Our Lives, this inspiring chronicle pairs iconic and unexpected images from the front lines of the civil rights, women's, environmental, and disability rights movements, with insightful texts that explore the meanings behind the moments. Among the dozens of photos here, the standouts include portraits of Rosa Parks, the Little Rock Nine, and mourners at the AIDS quilt, as well as a rare image of Martin Luther King being arrested.
