With the fiftieth anniversary of the March on Washington in recent memory, it's amazing to think of how far we've come as a nation in regards to racial equality. My grandmother worked in the Civil Rights Movement in Philadelphia to help organize for equal rights, and she fought racism through her life. I think it's difficult for the newest generation to even understand what people like my grandmother went through, and this book really does a wonderful job of *literally* illustrating the obstacles and triumphs that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. went through in helping to bring his dream to life. I enjoyed the clear, engaging writing style and the illustrations really bring this book to life. This is an excellent resource for people of all ages looking to learn more about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and I think it would make an excellent addition to the classroom as well. Highly recommended!
