Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!
Two great books by a great man.
I‘m challenging myself to read Stride Toward Freedom by his next birthday.

p. 137: 'True peace is not merely the absence of some negative force - tension, confusion, or war; it is the presence of some positive force - justice, good will, and brotherhood.'

Inspirational words that I needed to see/hear/read today, on this very dark day in our country. In the words of Martin Luther King Jr., “we must never lose infinite hope.”

Today in the US it is Martin Luther King Jr Day.
I wanted to share 6 books of his/about him that I thought were excellent:
The tagged by Eig is brilliant. 5 ⭐ My review - Eig gives us a detailed, well researched, and balanced look at King's life. The good and the bad. His health struggles, his misogyny, his hope and his commitment to the cause

I will tag the other 5 in the comments below!

ChaoticMissAdventures This book about MLK; Malcolm X and James Baldwins mothers is a bit short and it is a bit sparse on the mothers lives themselves (I think there just wasn't enough known information on them) This will be a good read for those without a good background of the men themselves, it really tackles the basics of the men and how their lives intertwine. 13h
ChaoticMissAdventures This is a detailed but highly readable look at Martin and Malcolm, how they wove continually past each other without meeting in the middle. And how having polarized views affected the civil rights movement. I really liked how it tackled MLKs misogyny that prevented him from working with rights leader Ella Baker. Even our heroes have flaws. 4.5 ⭐ 13h
ChaoticMissAdventures Everyone should read his own book about his own life. 4.5 ⭐ 13h
ChaoticMissAdventures With what is coming in the foreseeable future we are all going to need MLKs optimism. This collection has put together some of his best speeches and essays. 5 ⭐ 13h
ChaoticMissAdventures Probably his most known work, an essential read. MLK wrote this on 16 April 1963 after being arrested (again) during a nonviolent demonstration against segregation. In the letter to fellow clergymen he muses about how sometimes civil disobedience is an appropriate response to injustice. We will need this in the upcoming years. 13h

#MidwinterSolace #LitSolace

It seems so relevant today to quote Martin Luther King for today's #MondayMoments

Happy MLK day.

Happy MLK Day! Thank you Dr.King for being the face of those before you and after you. We do not just celebrate you, but how your work has inspired many and how you been inspired from the people that have come before you. Today we honor not just you but the unnamed folks that continue the fight for equality and justice for all people.
