The book addresses these lingering doubts and offers a powerful response in the voices of front line social activists, political thought leaders, and every day citizens. Surmountable chronicles the victories and setbacks of ten American and three international civic movements from the past century. Authors Brian Gruber and Adam Monier Edwards uncover the details behind some of history's most iconic events such as the Selma to Montgomery marches for civil rights, lesser known successes including one man's mission to resurrect an unratified Constitutional amendment, and insights from how citizens overcame seemingly insurmountable odds to achieve their goals. We visited 15 cities across four continents near where history was made to seek answers to burning questions such as: Is there an effective playbook for the modern activist? How are successes and failures measured? How universal are the value in the U.S. Constitution? What can we learn from activists from outside the U.S.? Selected interviewees include: Lucy Beard, Alice Paul Institute executive director Sam Walker, National Voting Rights Museum and Institute historian Colleen Sheehan, Villanova University professor, Heritage Foundation scholar, and 5-time author Dr. Todd Gitlin, Columbia University professor, sociologist, and 16-time author Gregory Watson, legislative analyst and driving force behind the 27th Amendment Brewster Kahle, Internet Archive founder and Alexa Internet co-founder Lamine Alibi, Tunisia Patriotic Democratic Unity Party central committee member Kalle Lasn, Adbusters co-founder and Occupy Wall Street co-creator Sergii Kharchuk, Euromaidan activist and Kyiv city councilman Dr. Hong-koo Han, Sungkonghoe University professor of Korean history and author Jay O'Neal, West Virginia teacher strike leader LaDonna Brave Bull Allard, Lakota historian, Standing Rock activist, and NoDAPL movement co-founder [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/13893437 [pa] => [subtitle] => How Citizens from Selma to Seoul Changed the World [publisher] => BookBaby [purchaseModel] => INSTANT )
