After Gandhi

One Hundred Years Of Nonviolent Resistance

BY ANNE AND PERRY SIBLEY O'BRIEN

Brief Description:
In 1908 Mohandas Gandhi spoke to a crowd of 3,000. Together they protested against an unjust law without guns or rioting. Peacefully they made a difference. Gandhis words and deeds influenced countless others to work toward the goals of freedom and justice through peaceful methods. Mother and son team, Anne and Perry Edmond OBrien, highlight some of the people and events that Gandhis actions inspired. From Rosa Parks to the students at Tiananmen Square to Wangari Maathai, these people have made the world sit up and take notice. The provocative graphics and beautiful portraits accompanying these stories stir the emotions and inspire a sense of civic responsibility.
