March through history and discover twenty-five groundbreaking protest movements that have shaped the way we fight for equality and justice today in this stunningly illustrated and sweeping book! For generations, marches have been an invaluable tool for bringing about social change.

They march to call attention to these wrongs and demand change and action, from a local to a global scale. Whether demanding protective laws or advocating for equal access to things like voting rights, public spaces, and jobs, the twenty-five marches in this book show us that even when a fight seems impossible, marching can be the push needed to tip the scales and create a movement. This gorgeous collection celebrates this rich and diverse history, the often-overlooked stories, and the courageous people who continue to teach us the importance of coming together to march today.

Together We March tells about twenty-five of the most important protest movements around the world that changed history. The book opens with early protest provements, including the March of the Mill Children in 1903 to protect children from early labor, the Salt March in India in 1930 to secure India's independence from Britain, and the Mud March in England in 1907 for women's rights to vote. It moves to more recent protest movements including The March Against Death, against the Vietnam War in America in 1969, the Earth Day March in 1970 to encourage measures to save the planet, and the Capitol Crawl in 1990 to eliminate physical and mental barriers in people's lives.
It's an excellent first look at protest movements for upper elementary and middle grade students.
