This week in class, we’re reading "I am the people, the mob" by Carl Sandburg.

In "I am the people, the mob," Carl Sandburg showcases the power of collective protest to incite change.

As we read, we will be discussing the theme of Social Change & Revolution as it relates to the text. We are trying to answer this big question :

"How do people create change?"
