Summary, Etc. "An urgent call to rekindle our shared American ideals. We are living through a time of crisis. The problems we face grow more serious, while our divisions continue to widen. But our history overflows with people who used the power of our foundational virtues to overcome impossible obstacles. In Stand, Senator Cory Booker offers a hopeful and practical path forward, weaving together powerful stories and stirring personal reflections to remind us that our country's shared ideals can serve as a North Star to guide us, even when our journey feels especially dark and perilous. He argues that our principles are not luxuries; they are vital, strategic keys to our survival and success. By wielding these tools, we can reclaim our sense of common cause and change the course of our country's history. Stand takes readers on a trip through America's past and present, showcasing moments when individuals and communities-in unexpected situations and against staggering odds-prevailed by embodying the best of our nation's virtues. Through the stories of leaders from President George Washington and Congressman John Lewis, to suffragist Alice Paul and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, to environmental justice advocate Ron Finley and disability rights activist Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, Booker offers inspiring and actionable insights for Americans from all walks of life. Published ahead of America's 250th anniversary, Stand is a defiantly optimistic challenge to reclaim our national story and work together to redeem the American dream"-- Provided by publisher.
