"En este libro, las imágenes enseñan tan fuertemente como lo hacen las palabras. A de Activista es un testimonio de un pueblo de todos los colores, unidos por la consciencia y la compasión. Es un retrato hermoso de niños que se celebran sus derechos humanos en una voz de pura alegría, recordando los que vinieron antes de ellos – César, Malcolm, Las Zapatistas.
