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

5.0

Into the Streets is a great look at social uprising over the years in the United States. It includes a brief history lesson on numerous protests ranging from slave revolts to the Delano Grape Strike. A lot of the events (the Stonewall Riots, The Ferguson Uprising, the Wounded Knee Standoff) are typically not taught in standard text books, but are very important for young people to learn about. It feels like it covered a lot of ground and didn't seem to leave out any important moments or groups from history.
This book is perfect for younger people because it's written in very easy to understand words and is very well organized. All of the protests appear chronologically and include a brief history of what led up to the moment as well as key players behind the protests.
Bieschke didn't write this book only to inform young readers about protests in the past, but he also includes tips on how to organize your own protest at the very end of the book.
Overall, this was an informative, easy read and I will definitely be buying myself a copy of this.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
