Abstract
We hope that this book has been both cause for celebration and call to action. As filmmaker Barbara Trent observes in the first interview, there’s a chance that we can intervene in history if we move fast enough. The many individuals represented here are evidence that this is true. Through their strategic efforts to raise public awareness and marshal social and political forces, they have shown themselves to be effective at getting in history’s way.
