It's about what he (and others) have done when faced with civil rights issues. It shows the process of gathering to make your opinion heard, and conveys the emotional resonance and importance of these peaceful but forceful displays. I found it very powerful.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114624813405241762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171785485297377088.post-31040593552711666512014-01-11T06:16:41.879-08:002014-01-11T06:16:41.879-08:00This book sounds lovely.

I love the various picture books relating to MLK and the Civil Rights Movement (especially Martin's Big Words (Doreen Rappaport), I Have a Dream (illustrated by Kadir Nelson), and My Dream of Martin Luther King (Faith Ringgold)).
