We wouldn’t dream of sending a soldier into battle without essential gear: body armor, a weapon, and knowledge of the enemy’s motives, strategies, and weaknesses. Yet, many parents today unknowingly send their children into the psychological battlefields of daily life— where they face a barrage of deceptions from academia, social media, politicians, peers, and beyond—without equipping them with the necessary defenses to survive and excel.

It establishes the fundamental framework of our system of government, while differences in how to understand and interpret it often divide people.

It examines the various controversies that divided the convention.

When Valena Beety first became a federal prosecutor, her goal was to protect victims, especially women, from cycles of violence. What she discovered was that not only did prosecutions often fail to help victims, they frequently relied on false information, forensic fraud, and police and prosecutor misconduct. Seeking change, Beety began working in the Innocence Movement, helping to free factually innocent people through DNA testing and criminal justice reform.

O Discurso da servidão voluntária de Étienne de La Boétie é uma análise política sobre a obediência. Afirma que estados e governos são mais vulneráveis do que as pessoas imaginam e podem entrar em colapso em um instante: assim que o consentimento dos governados é retirado. Esta é a fascinante tese defendida por La Boétie. Em tempos que corporações e governos ampliam de forma nunca antes imaginada o controle e poder sobre a população, este livro, escrito há quase 500 anos, é verdadeiramente o traço profético de nossos tempos.

This is the original text as written by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito. This information was leaked by a currently unknown source, prematurely, into the the public eye, thus creating an emotional firestorm by those who haven't any understanding of the actual implications. This is my attempt to remedy the lack of understanding.

After a 1960 Supreme Court decision in Boynton v. Virginia, bus segregation was made illegal on new grounds. With this victory in hand, the Freedom Rides of 1961 began. Organized primarily by the Congress on Racial Equality, the Freedom Rides followed the same guidance that inspired the Montgomery Boycott—nonviolent direct action. The momentum generated by the Freedom Rides and the following activism would lead to the famous March on Washington and eventually the passage of a historic civil rights bill in 1964.

Injustice. Black America. Media. Corruption at the highest levels of government. Only one dollar. This is the case you've never heard of--until now. In City of Los Angeles v. Preferred Communications, the US District Court, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the US Supreme Court agreed that the city had violated the civil rights of half a million people for 10 years and had refused to comply with a nine-zero decision by the Supreme Court of the United States.

In the summer of 1962, Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) began to express interest in targeting one of the South's most brutally segregated cities. Nicknamed “Bombingham”, the city had witnessed the bombing of over a dozen Black homes and churches in the previous five years. A victory in Birmingham was a goal that would embolden the Civil Rights Movement like never before. Together with Ralph Abernathy and other SCLC leaders, King recruited and organized volunteers for sit-ins, demonstrations, boycotts, and protests throughout the city.

In this short volume, Robert Ryan examines the American gun debate and the role he plays in it, along with the rest of the country. With acerbic wit and striking practicality, Ryan also takes the time to examine current American gun laws and their effectiveness. Flip through this volume and find out what everybody’s been fighting about, or what they think they’ve been fighting about.

In 1970, C. T. Vivian, a close colleague of Martin Luther King, Jr. and a member of his executive staff, sat down to take stock of the civil rights movement and the progress it had made. His assessment was that it failed, and that the blame lay in the existence of myths about America. As prophetic today as it was fifty years ago, Vivian's voice rings out as a critique and a call to action for a society in deep need of justice and peace. The Black struggle for independence is more of an uphill climb than ever.

One of the earliest works of feminist philosophy, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman advocates for the education of women in a time where the opposite belief was predominately held. Written during the French Revolution, Wollstonecraft's work had a significant impact on those advocating for women's rights during the nineteenth century.

Written by political activist and revolutionary Thomas Paine, Rights of Man defends the French Revolution and argued for written constitutions, welfare, and widespread education for all. Published in two parts in 1791 and 1792, it was a direct response to Edmund Burke's attack in Reflections on the Revolution in France, which was released in 1790. Rights of Man advocates for political revolution when the government fails to safeguard the natural rights of its people.

Most historians attribute the shortcomings of the civil rights era to a conservative backlash or to the fracturing of the liberal establishment in the late 1960s, but the civil rights movement also faced resistance from a liberal "frontlash," from antiredistributive allies who, before it ever took off, constrained what the movement could demand and how it could demand it. Telling the stories of Ruth Benedict, Kenneth Clark, W. E. B. Du Bois, Richard Wright, and others, Darda reveals how Americans learned to wait on time for racial change and the enduring harm of trust in the clock.

Living the Dream tells the history behind the establishment of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the battle over King's legacy that continued through the decades that followed. This book reveals the lengths that activists had to go to elevate an African American man to the pantheon of national heroes, how conservatives took advantage of the commemoration to bend the arc of King's legacy toward something he never would have expected, and how grassroots causes, unions, and antiwar demonstrators continued to try to claim this sanctified day as their own.

Sur un ton énergique, ironique et engagé, l'une des plus grandes voix féminines de la Révolution française, Olympe de Gouges, rédige le premier document à évoquer l'égalité juridique et légale des femmes avec celle des hommes. “Femme, réveille-toi; le tocsin de la raison se fait entendre dans tout l'univers ; reconnais tes droits. Le puissant empire de la nature n'est plus environné de préjugés, de fanatisme, de superstition et de mensonges. Le flambeau de la vérité a dissipé tous les nuages de la sottise et de l'usurpation."

The Black and Latina daughter of a working-class family, Victoria Pratt learned to treat everyone with dignity, no matter their background. When she became Newark Municipal Court’s chief judge, she knew well the inequities that poor, mentally ill, Black, and brown people faced in the criminal justice system. Pratt’s reforms transformed her courtroom into a place for problem-solving and a resource for healing.
