Building Alliances (Spotlight on Social Justice)

Description

While adolescent readers are likely familiar with historic United States events including the end of slavery and women securing the right to vote, they may not realize how alliances made these milestones possible--alliances like those that they can be a part of today. This engaging title delves into the history of the alliances and allies that have shaped history and advanced the rights of marginalized people. It also provides readers with a guide to using their own interests and strengths to create a more just world by celebrating diversity and emphasizing empathy.
