DESCRIPTION:In this timely new book in Beacon’s successful ReVisioning Hi
 story series\, professor Gloria Browne-Marshall delves into the history of
  protest movements and rebellion in the United States. Beginning with Indi

 ealing the role of key players involved in those efforts.\n\n \n\nDrawing

 nglish invaders in pre-colonial America in 1607\; legendary boxer Muhammad
  Ali who refused to be inducted into the US military during the Vietnam er
 a and appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court\; and David Buckel\, LG
