King: A Life | Jonathan Eig
post image
Pickpick

I prioritized finishing this, I felt that more than ever King‘s work & words are much needed. The book is very detailed but gives so much more info & inspiration about King‘s work. His views & work on not only racial injustice but also poverty & war are still so relevant today. “Our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant & to face the challenges of change.”

Excellent biography of Martin Luther King, Jr. that examines his full life: his beliefs, his actions, his insecurities and his failures. In other words —a portrait of a man who had his flaws like any other human, but who rose to greatness and met the moment when it mattered.

I read King over three months. It is a deep dive into his life from childhood to his assassination. A man of great passion and conviction who worked tirelessly to end racism, fight poverty and end the war in Vietnam. I knew the highlights but there is so much more here. Let‘s just saying lying and manipulation in government is not a new problem. Our current government would like to erase this history. Let‘s not agree to that.

ncsufoxes I‘ve had King sitting on my nightstand for the last few months. I try to read a few pages slowly. I have a few chunksters that I try to slowly read through a few pages to make progress. 2mo

Granted the biography‘s are kinda short, but this book is important one for children to know what went on back then!

It is very Spring like today and I wish I could stay home on my patio with a book but taxes await. I will say reading the tagged book during this time provides encouragement and strength.

What‘s your mood today?
