Author Ralph Young writes that “the history of America is a history of dissent.”

From the protest of the British Parliament’s taxation policies that led to the American Revolution to the fight for women’s right-to-vote to the Civil Rights Movement, anti-war demonstrations and protests and the Black Lives Matter uprisings, dissent has fueled change in the U.S.

Young’s newly published book is called American Patriots -- A Short History of Dissent. Ralph Young joins us today on The Spark.  Ralph Young is a Professor of Instruction of History at Temple University and author or editor of several other books focusing on history.
