Goodman explains & celebrates the power "the People" have when they organize in movements. Includes some good insights (and information that will be new to many) on Frederick Douglass; Susan B. Anthony; Rosa Parks; and 1968 Olympians John Carlos, Tommie Smith, and Peter Norman--plus remarks on Tahrir Square, Occupy Wall Street, and President Obama.
