Description
As our Democracy faces numerous existential challenges, this book reminds us of where we’ve come from and the true intentions of that “Mayflower moment,” that time of the drafting of the Mayflower compact before English migrants set foot in the new world to create a self-governed nation in which due process and the law applied to everyone. “To the Front of the Bus: Movement toward a Fair Democracy” provides a comprehensive look at America’s violent, racist and self-centered history; its yielding to the power grabs of wealthy old men; and the interminable ebbs and flows of Democracy’s lurching progress. The author identifies—in the willing and sometimes coerced movements of assembled majorities—three sequential and coincidental iterations of Americans questing for a fair and aware Democracy.
