This volume is inspired by the pathbreaking life and work of writer, activist, and historian Lawrence \"Larry\" Goodwyn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a radical Texas journalist and a political organizer, Goodwyn participated in historic changes ushered in by grassroots activism in the 1950s and '60s. Professor and cofounder of the Oral History Program at Duke University, Goodwyn wrote about movements built by Latino farm workers, Polish trade unionists, civil rights activists, and others who challenged the status quo. The essays in this volume examine Goodwyn's influence in political and social movements, his approaches to teaching and writing, and his insights into the long history behind contemporary activism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Power\u003c\/i\u003e will generate deep discussions about the potential of democracy amid the multiple crises of our time. What motivates ordinary people to move from kitchen table conversations to civic engagement? What do the chronicles of past social movements tell us about how to confront the real blocks of racism and the idea that Americans are somehow \"exceptional\"? Contributors provide key experiential knowledge that will help today's scholars and community organizers address these pressing questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Donnel Baird | Charles C.
