This book tells about the life of civil rights activist, Martin Luther King, Jr. including doubts and fears that he had. He was a normal person just like everyone else who stood up for himself and others and changed history.

After watching a wonderful CNN segment live from Selma, Alabama on the 50th Anniversary of "Bloody Sunday", I realize that I need to know more about the civil rights movement and the terrible travesty and plight of blacks who, with Martin Luther King, Meggar Evans, and a host of other strongly committed people led the people in demanding what should have rightfully been theirs, ie the right to vote, to sit at lunch counters, to share the same school system, to ride in the front of the bus instead of having to go to the back and give up their seat to a white person.

Sadly, I don't remember learning a lot in school when the civil rights movement was happening.

This is a well researched, loving tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

After reading the book, I was amazed at the moral, ethical strength of this wonderful man committed to non violent means to make a difference and right the wrongs that for too long were in place.

I had no idea that he was imprisoned so many times. When President Jack Kennedy was assassinated, Martin told his wife that it was a "sick society" and that he knew the same thing was going to happen to him.

Highly recommended. ( )

This is a non-fiction book covering the life and work of Martin Luther King and his fight for racial and social equality.
