=People Who Said No= ==by Laura Scandiffio==

Sometimes, saying "No" is the right thing to do.
"Sometimes it's okay to ignore the rules or break the law. In fact, it's essential! This thought-provoking book features people who did just that:

Sophie and Hans Scholl, siblings who distributed anti-government pamphlets in Nazi Germany; and Andrei Sakharov, who helped develop the nuclear bomb in Cold War Russia, but then spoke out against its use.

Rosa Parks, who set in motion ground-breaking changes to practices of racial injustice, was not originally in a position of political power but came out of the ranks of regular citizens to stand up for human rights.

Also included are Helen Suzman, a South African member of parliament who fought apartheid; Aung San Suu Kyi, who spent years under house arrest for protesting the dictatorship in Burma; and the people of Egypt, who recently brought down the repressive government of Hosni Mubarak."
