MALVERN, Pa., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Accessible Archives, Inc., a digital publisher of full-text primary source historical collections, announces the release of a new primary source series – Anatomy of Protest in America.
Anatomy of Protest in America delivers a unique opportunity to investigate through newspaper articles, editorials, and books the people, places, events, organizations, and ideas, so important to Americans that they took action, exercised their rights, and stood up to protest.
This series guides the user through almost 225 years of American protest history – including content on colonial exploitation and revolution, to slavery and abolition, to political rights and suffrage, and economic and industrial disturbances.
As debates rage over the future of America and the country's relationship to its past, there is no better time to examine the wealth of content in Anatomy of Protest in America.
Iris L. Hanney, Unlimited Priorities president, states "publication of this new collection highlights Accessible Archives' ongoing commitment to provide essential historical content that opens a window into the life of America, and in terms of this new series, what motivated (and still does motivate) the American people to action."
