A perfect tool for young readers as they grow into the leaders of tomorrow, Veronica Chambers’s inspiring collection of profiles—along with Senator Cory Booker’s stirring foreword—will inspire readers of all ages to stand up for what’s right.
You may only be one person, but you have the power to change the world.
Before they were activists, they were just like you and me. From Frederick Douglass to Malala Yousafzai, Joan of Arc to John Lewis, Susan B. Anthony to Janet Mock—these remarkable figures show us what it means to take a stand and say no to injustice, even when it would be far easier to stay quiet.
Resist profiles men and women who resisted tyranny, fought the odds, and stood up to bullies that threatened to harm their communities. Along with their portraits and most memorable quotes, their stories will inspire you to speak out and rise up—every single day.
This collection introduces young readers to the people who changed history:
- Social Justice For Kids: An accessible introduction to the biggest ideas in fairness and equality, showing how real people took a stand against injustice.
- Black History & Women’s History Heroes: Meet legendary figures like Frederick Douglass, Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells, and Susan B. Anthony, and learn what drove them to fight for their rights.
- Activism for Kids: Discover the stories of contemporary icons like Malala Yousafzai, Greta Thunberg, and the founders of Black Lives Matter, and see how you can make a difference today.
- Portraits and Quotes: Each profile is paired with a powerful portrait and the figure’s most memorable words, making this a book kids will return to again and again.

We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish.
