duration, number of participants, number of protesters arrested, number of people injured, the amount of<br />

property damage, number of people killed or wounded, and the like. Students can then use these key facts as<br />

easy access points with which to compare events. Primary sources are included to show examples of letters,<br />

petitions, relevant news coverage, first-hand accounts, etc.<br />

30 chapters beginning with an overview of the topic then detailing 3 to 5 events. Chapters average 7,000<br />
