Throughout history artists have led grassroots movements of
protest, resistance, and liberation. They created dangerously,
sometimes becoming martyrs for the cause. Their efforts kindled a
fire, aroused the imagination and rallied the troops culminating in
real transformational change. Their art served as a form of dissent
during times of war, social upheaval, and political unrest. Less
dramatically perhaps, artists have also participated in
demonstrations, benefit concerts, and have become philanthropists
in support of their favorite causes. These artists have been
overlooked or given too little attention in the literature on
leadership, even though the consequences of their courageous
crusades, quite often, resulted in censorship, "blacklisting,"
imprisonment, and worse. This forthcoming book seeks to explore the
intersection of grassroots leadership and the arts for social
change by accentuating the many victories artists have won for
humanity. Through this forthcoming book readers will vicariously
experience the work of these brave figures, reflect on their
commitments and achievements, and continue to dream a better world
full of possibility.
