Welcome to Litsy!

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.

When it‘s finally Friday evening after a long week and the hubby is working an overnight so you have the house to yourself and you can settle into the couch with a stack of books and a giant mug of camomile tea. 🥰🫠

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?

Amen. 🙌🏼
