I Am Martin Luther King, Jr. | 
Noah loved his gift from his exchange partner Jameson for the #blitsyswap. He is already reading this book and loves learning about Dr.King‘s childhood! Thank you @Chelleo
Good news! Brad Meltzer posted this morning on Facebook that the York, PA school board has ended their racist ban. So sad that this even ever happened.
*See previous posts for context*
Brad Meltzer has two books on CYSD's 4 page list of articles, books and resources they are currently banning. I love that he is supporting my friend JJ's initiative! They have received more than 100 boxes of book donations in the last 5 days!
pickI just love these books and this was no exception. Great story telling for kids. The new PBS Kids show “Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum” does just as great a job with these stories! 🤦🏼♀️
What is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.

Address to the SCLC, August 16, 1967
Took this photo at Yerba Buena Gardens during my trip to San Francisco last November. They have a great MLK memorial.
pickMartin Luther King Jr. by Bonnie Bader, biography. Martin Luther King Jr. helped organized black people across the country so they would be able to vote and have other basic rights. Martin remained calm and honest even though was being threatened. This book is really to the point. I like how this book focuses on just the main idea of Martin Luther. This book would be a great IR or PR
pickI picked this up from the library and read it today. I loved that Brad Meltzer & Christopher Eliopoulos collaborated and put these books together for children. I love this authors books and this makes me love him more!
My school's Human Rights Forum was inspired by @bookriot #Riotgrams So they created their own February photo challenge with the hashtag #RightToRead Please check them out on Twitter as TheHRFNewman!
I love this series of books about important historical figures like Martin Luther King Jr. And so do the kids.
One more picture from this book. MLK writing his letter from the Birmingham Jail.
I've shared this book before, but it!s a good day to share it again. It covers MLK's childhood, the bus protests after Rosa Parks, MLK in jail, Selma and more. This page introduces the Children's March. Meltzer thanks Rep John Lewis for reviewing early drafts. Children and adults will learn from this book.
#ReadJanuary #Day16 #InspiredByMartinLutherKingJr I LOVE these books from Brad Meltzer. My son has the whole collection (minus Jim Henson because that just came out). All of these books-this one in particular-encourages the readers to stand up for what is right, to stand together for justice, and to remain united in times of trouble. Beautiful.
These are two of the books I bought from Brazos Bookstore after they were robbed. I told them they were for my daughter's birthday, and they wrapped them and sent these adorable kid-designed bookmarks. She was so excited!
