Aimed at older elementary and middle school children, also informative for adults!

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 peacefully 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 book begins with the March of the Mill Children in 1903 and concludes with Justice for George Floyd protests in 2020. It highlights influential protest movements around the globe, including well-known demonstrations such as the 1963 Children's March as well as marches not typically covered in the classroom like the Bulgarian Jews March of 1943.

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.
