Taking Action for Civil and Political Rights (Who's Changing the World?)

"A bright launching pad for tweens looking for social justice causes and accompanying role models. Titles open with an introduction to activism related to the topic and move on to profile a number of kids, teens, and adults who have created lasting change. Readers will meet young people like Joshua Wong, who at 15 organized a 120,000-person protest in response to the Chinese government's interference in Hong Kong's education system. Featuring a diverse mix of age ranges, nationalities, genders, and ethnicities of those profiled, this series is a winner for collections in need of quality, inspirational materials on contemporary activists."--School Library Journal
