Documenting the history of nonviolence in the United States from colonial times to the present, this extensive compilation of firsthand sources begins with a letter by William Penn to the Delaware Indians and ends with writings by individuals taking a stand against completion of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
In between is a chronicle of activism and resistance in such campaigns as the abolitionist cause, women’s suffrage, civil rights, and opposition to war. Included are accounts of sit-down strikes, draft resistance, and the March on the Pentagon as well as classic texts by Henry David Thoreau, William James, Martin Luther King, Jr., Dorothy Day, and others.
