Peace, Love and Pepper Spray

From America's earliest days as a colony, its people have been standing up for the right to protest injustice. But we've come a long way from the Boston Tea Party. Peace, Love, and Pepper Spray captures the drama, excitement, and hope of modern U.S. protests, from the masked members of Anonymous to the fiercely vocal Occupy movement and beyond.

Inside you'll find more that 100 photos taken at the heart of the action that capture all the frustration, idealism, and triumph of modern protesting. Individual activist profiles showcase pivotal people at the heart of their movement.

These are compelling, unforgettable examples of American rising up to make their voices heard - and make a difference.

"The spirit of yesterday's activists can be found in the protests of today."
