(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Donald Burmudez. Foreword by Xernona Clayton. This biography provides an excellent overview of the iconic civil rights leader's life, particularly his childhood and early days as an inspirational pastor and a catalyst for change. New material referencing Dr. King's assassination is necessarily darker than the rest of the book, although Clayton does not shy away from the realities of Jim Crow America throughout. Frequent new illustrations, though static, add accessibility. Bib.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano
