Earlier this week, we remembered the work of two men from Atlanta. One who has passed, and one who still leads the fight.

John Lewis's March trilogy soared to the top of bestselling lists everywhere, and the third volume received the National Book Award in 2016. With great reason: Lewis is an icon for our age. Unafraid of baseless criticism. A leader, a hopeful warrior, tireless in his efforts to bring equality to our country's imbalance. He is a hero.

"There comes a time when you have to say something, when you have to make a little noise, when you have to move your feet," Lewis said on the House Floor in June of 2016. "And this is the time. Now is the time to get in the way. The time to act is now. We will be silent no more."

At All the Wonders, we believe that activism can begin at any age. In honor of Mr. Lewis and his charge to make a little noise and move your feet, here is a collection of books for young activists. It is time to pursue social justice, readers! May you use these #booksforbetter.
