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. Gandhi's words and deeds influenced countless others
to work toward the goals of freedom and justice through peaceful
methods. Mother and son team, Anne Sibley O'Brien and Perry Edmond
O'Brien, highlight some of the people and events that Gandhi's 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.
