The Next American Revolution: Sustainable Activism for the Twenty-First Century

A really great book. Think all our country’s problems will be solved in the next election. ( or the one after that)? It’s not going to happen. Change can only come from the bottom up, not the top down. Anyone that is concerned about the problems in our society should read this book. I got this book on Kindle and then purchased it in print too, so I could mark it with my yellow highlighter and keep it by my bedside to refer to over and over again.

I feel honored to just read about Grace Lee Bogg’s life! What an absolutely amazing woman! Age is certainly no barrier to her as she continues the fight! If you want an inspirational read, this is it!

If you are watching or participating in the events in Wisconsin, NJ, Ohio or Michigan, this book will challenge you to think about becoming a leader rather than a cheerleader. In the book, The Next American Revolution:Sustainable Activism in the 21 Century, Grace Lee Boggs and Scott Kurashige help us move from defensive protest thinking to the work of creating a cultural revolution and to creating parallel structures for an American Dream of the 21 Century. […]Too many on the left and among progressive forces are on the defensive. Fighting Back is not enough…This short book will become a foundation for thinking to guide movements in the 21 Century. Grace develops theory from practice and puts forward a vision to transform ourselves and our society. What can we learn from Martin and Malcom? These are the times to grow our souls? What can we learn from the crisis and pioneering practice in Detroit? What does a paradigm shift in education mean for our children and our communities? Grace and Scott end with a chapter entitled: “We are the Leaders we’ve been looking for! […]This book is the basis for study circles in our unions, churches, community organizations, family circles and in our highschools and our colleges. In times of movement and great change, we need to think as well as act. This book unites thinking, reflection and doing.

So many transformative gems from a lifelong activist and philosopher. Must-read for any stage of activism. Grace Lee Boggs is a national treasure

Inspiring compassion in action. We should know their names and the part they played in civil rights. We surely still need them in the fight against poverty

Amazing insights from a near-centenarian with so many lessons learned during a life of working for positive change. “These are the times to grow our souls.”

I AM READING THIS AMAZJNG WOMAN’S BOOK. HER STORY IS TOLD WITHOUT RANCOR, ALLOWING HER TO “GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE”. IT’S NOT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE THEIR MINDS MADE UP AND SET IN STONE.

So much to love about and learn from Ms. Lee Boggs.
