Into the Streets: A Young Person's Visual History of Protest in the United States by Marke Bieschke

4.0

An informative, interesting, and inspiring text, despite some awkward moments, such as saying slave owners were "often abusive," a definite understatement. It is made clear that not all protests bring about the desired results; many issues are still being fought for/against today, and it's not downplayed that sometimes, these protests result in violence, by protestors, law enforcement, or both. It's also made clear that it is a basic right to assemble and protest in the United States. The book is put together well, with engaging layouts featuring a good balance of text, photographs, and sidebars, and a variety of subject matter. The source notes show legitimate and respected sources, and the list of recommended reading has some great choices. Overall, an inspiring read for socially active young people.
