History Teaches Us to Resist - by Mary Frances Berry (Paperback)

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of how progressive movements have successfully resisted conservative presidents in American history, including Franklin D.

Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, Ronald Reagan, George H.W.

Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W.

Bush.

The author highlights key moments of resistance during each presidency, such as the Indigenous peoples' protests against the Dakota pipeline, anti-war movements, and pro-choice protests.

Throughout these examples, Berry underscores that even when resistance doesn't achieve all the goals of a particular movement, it often plants a seed that comes to fruition later.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the power of resistance in American politics and how it can lead to positive change.
