This is a history of human rights campaigns in the United States and elsewhere, starting with the Quakers and other 18th-century campaigners against slavery and covering the rise of the labor movement, lynchings, genocide, Sacco and Vanzetti, the Scottsboro Boys, the Rosenbergs, and the history of Amnesty International. It is both informative and inspirational.
