You had better make some noise

« When the history of our times is written, will we be remembered as the generation that turned our backs in a moment of global crisis or will it be recorded that we did the right thing ? »
Nelson Mandela

Women's March. Arab Spring. Cape Town Peace March. Tiananmen Square. Stonewall Riots. Civil Rights March on Washington. Every era is defined by its protests, and a new wave of resistance is sweeping the globe as citizens take to the streets to defend their rights and values. « Power concedes nothing without a demand, » wrote abolitionist Frederick Douglass. « It never did and it never will. »
You had better make some noise collects the words of visionaries across geography and time-social activists, revolutionaries, writers, artists, politicians, and more. Their voices reverberate through the centuries, inspiring us to stand by our convictions and make our own voices heard.
