This volume focuses on the history of the United States through stories of human freedom aspired to and won, beginning with the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and culminating in the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 60s and the advances that have been made since. The book provides a picture of the people and events that shaped America. Joy Hakim's thesis is that despite all of the mistakes and tragic setbacks, freedom survives again and again.
