Martin Rising

Martin Rising: Requiem For a King
by Andrea Davis Pinkney (Author) and Brian Pinkney (Illustrator)

Booktalk: A poetic requiem conveys the final months of Martin Luther King’s life.

Snippet:
These strong, quiet
strikers,
and all who stand by them,
refuse to Roar.

Going out like lambs,
they are ignored.

No better pay.
No benefits.
No fair working conditions.

No progress.
