Resistance @250

Progress Has Always Faced Resistance

The American experiment has always been defined by conflict over who belongs, who has power, and whose voices matter.

Abolitionists challenged slavery.
Workers organized for dignity and rights.
Activists confronted segregation, exclusion, disinformation, and political repression.

Again and again, change happened because people refused to accept the status quo.

As the nation marks 250 years since 1776, these books question national myths, recover overlooked voices, and examine how struggles over democracy, race, power, and representation continue to define American life.
