Amber Lyon's “Peace, Love and Pepper Spray” Chronicles Modern American Activism

Peace, Love, and Pepper Spray, a new coffee table book by Emmy Award-winning journalist and photographer Amber Lyon, chronicles modern protesting in America with more than 200 photographs of activists at the heart of recent protests across the country.

The book’s 12 chapters and individual activist profiles cover an array of recent protests with a focus on immigrant rights, Anonymous, women’s right to go topless, the Chicago Teacher’s Strike, online protest, attacks on press freedom, home foreclosure barricades, Keystone XL Pipeline demonstrations, Chicago NATO protests, Trayvon Martin, Anaheim police brutality and more.

"I hope the photos in Peace, Love, and Pepper Spray provide readers with the strength and inspiration to stand up against rampant corruption and revolt,” says Amber Lyon. “Protest is beautiful."

As Lyon traveled the country to photograph, she was shot at by police in Anaheim, crushed underneath a crowd of police batons, and forced to inhale pepper spray more times than she can count.

2. Her exposure of CNN and other MSM's corruption of the truth justifies this group!

I thought it interesting how she exposed CNN for taking money from governments to put spin on some stories and not report other stories at all.
