So much has happened since this book was published in 2018; I hope the author writes an updated version. Can protests ever be the same after things like the violent repression of anti-police violence protests? Can matches on Washington go back to “normal” after than Jan 6 insurrection? This book was an interesting look inside the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom and the 2017 Women's March on Washington, with attention paid to the impact of race and gender on mass mobilization. It answers the question “what good do marches do” with thoughtful consideration. It just feels like this book comes from a different, simpler time, and requires an update.
