I spent part of yesterday (Martin Luther King day) reading this comic book. As an older person, I lived through these days and remember the turmoil that followed Rosa Park's refusal to give up her seat on the bus. I'm sure she didn't have a clue how her actions would be a catalyst for change and bring about the rise of Martin Luther King.This book is excellently done, as are all the retro comics produced by Julia Busch. I look forward to each new release in this series. I read them first and I lend them to my preteen grandchildren. They really enjoy reading them as oftentimes much of the information given in these comics is not taught in the schools. Because of these comics, they are learning some little known facts, and I find these books are often leading them to even read some biographies they otherwise would never have looked at.If you have young people in your family, consider picking up this series of retro comics for them and help them expand their understanding of the history of this great country.
