Who Cares: Million Do, a Book About Altruism

The media today are full of stories abut the cruel & callous side of human nature. Yet there is another side to American life, a helping, caring side that we don t often hear about. Every day, millions of people perform acts of altruism -- giving their time to help others in need. And many of them are teenagers. Meltzer pays tribute to the volunteers who have sacrificed their time, energy, & lives working against social injustice & toward a better world. From the freedom riders of the 1960s, to Amnesty Internat. youth groups who petition for the release of political prisoners, to high school envir. activists, these are inspiring stories about youth who have made a difference.
