50 American Revolutions You're Not Supposed to Know

50 American Revolutions You're Not Supposed to Know

by Mickey Z

Is it unpatriotic to dissent? Is it unAmerican to question our government's policies? And how did the Far Right manage to claim the flag exclusively for itself? Here's a quick guide to the people and events in our country's history that progressives can be proud of: families of 9/11 victims questioning the connection to aggression in Iraq, Lester Rodney de-segregating baseball in 1937, Charlie Parker playing his saxophone despite incredible odds, Public Enemy address racism to the mainstream, World War I veterans march on Washington to get reparations for their services, among 45 others. This is the perfect gift for anyone who has ever asked about the successes of the left or how radical have something to be proud of in America.
