The Rise of the Masses
"When George Floyd was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis, half a million people showed up to Black Lives Matter protests. Between 15 and 26 million Americans participated in protests surrounding the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and others.

Driving the troubles were fears and passions animated by European religious and political developments. The result registered the impact upon fragile institutions of powerful beliefs. One feature of this analysis is its relationship of the history of events to that of ideas. Another is its consideration of these processes across the century as a whole. The most important is its restoration of this extraordinary English experience to its European context.
