This general education course in the Justice Core: Struggles for Justice and Equality in the USA area examines historical and contemporary examples of people who make waves - often at great personal risk - to achieve social, political, economic, and moral justice in America. Readings, films, and other depictions consider the motives, methods, and consequences to those who live in the United States, such as labor leaders, corporate whistleblowers, and political agitators, who stand up to powerful people and institutions to expose what they perceive as dangerous secrets and gross injustice.
