Picture Books: Peaceful Protests

We are currently studying Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as our Philosopher for Love, so I have been looking through my library for books on nonviolent protests. Here is what I've found. Please let me know if you think of others!

On Thursday we read Mother Jones and Her Army of Mill Children and I referenced this document. You and your child may want to look it up:
