Unabridged: A Book Podcast

Books that Encourage Activism in Young People


Listen Later

In this episode of the Unabridged Podcast, we share book recommendations that we believe promote and encourage activism in young people.
Our selections include Brandy Colbert’s The Voting Booth, Dave Cullen’s Parkland: Birth of a Movement, and Monica Clark-Robinson's Let the Children March, illustrated by Frank Morrison. We also share what we're currently reading in our Bookish Check-In, and we share some activism accounts that we love in our Give Me One segment.
