From the preface:
Actions may speak louder than words. But, occasionally, someone’s words come in a very close second, and the combination of actions and words can’t be beat. The words in this book belong to those who chose to act, and when repercussions were brought by the system of judges, prosecutors, and juries, these people chose to stand defiant.
Every one of these statements is imperfect, none of these people were/are heroes. Fortunately, we don’t find inspiration in perfection, or heroics. We find inspiration in defiance.
