Throughout history, people have sacrificed their freedom to nonviolently protest against laws they felt were unjust. This class will explore the lives of individuals who practiced civil disobedience to challenge such issues as civil rights, voting restrictions, economic exploitation, militarism, environmental degradation and self-determination.  Activists profiled will include Martin Luther King, Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, Susan B. Anthony, Cesar Chavez, Henry David Thoreau, Nelson Mandela, Alice Paul, Daniel Berrigan, Greta Thunberg, and others who sought peaceful means to promote societal change.
