Product Detail:
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was only 25 when he helped organize the
Montgomery Bus Boycott and was soon organizing black people across the
country in support of the right to vote, desegregation, and other basic
civil rights. Maintaining nonviolent and peaceful tactics even when his
life was threatened, King was also an advocate for the poor and spoke
out against racial and economic injustice until his death?from an
assassin?s bullet?in 1968. With clearly written text that explains this
tumultuous time in history and 80 black-and-white illustrations, this Who Was?? celebrates the vision and the legacy of a remarkable man.
