#GoodBooks – Newly featured in Charleston Good’s Bookshop
People’s Plaza: Sixty-Two Days of Nonviolent Resistance
Justin Jones (Author) William J. Barber (Foreword by)
“The People’s Plaza is a rumination on the abuse of power, and a vision of a more just, equitable, anti-racist Nashville–a vision that kept Jones and those with him posted on the plaza through intense heat, unprovoked arrests, vandalism, theft, and violent suppression. It is a first-person account of hope, a statement of intent, and a blueprint for nonviolent resistance in the American South and elsewhere.”
