America, It Was Just an Idea Rayna GANGI

Politics have always been a part of the idea of America. From its inception as an idea of a self-governing nation, America has evolved to a purely political idea versus the original idea of "by the people and for the people." This story is one person's journey through the idea of America, and how the politics of the 60's and the JFK assassination began an interest in politics that grew to activism in 2016. The history is fact-based, and the emotions surrounding the history are heartfelt and real. America, It Was Just an Idea is essential reading for students, parents, teachers, and educators. It lets us remember our history, remember the idea of America, and remember how we got here.
