Abstract

The United States achieved full democracy with the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. Democracy in Action: We Fight Back is a photo/poster essay that documents social movements commencing with the civil disobedience of the 1960’s. We concentrate, however, on current protests – at home and abroad – in the fight to combat authoritarianism and protect what many have come to realize is the fragility of the U.S. democracy.
