When A Moment Sparks A Revolution: Anarchist Calisthenics Through History
Description
What if one moment of resistance could spark a revolution? From the Stonewall Riots in 1969 to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, to the story of Carmela Torres, a 17-year-old Mexican girl who sparked the 1917 Bath Riots at the US-Mexico border, this is the real history of how ordinary people — especially women and queer people — turned personal defiance into collective power.
It’s not just about who threw the first brick at Stonewall — it’s even more crucial that the collective was ready to resist together.
