Collection: Martin Luther King

Martin Luther King was a key spokesperson in the American Civil Rights Movement, but many of his ideas and statements are still relevant today – and not just in America.

In this month’s collection, you can find books both by and inspired by Martin Luther King. “And Still I Rise” is an illustrated chronology of Black America since Martin Luther King, “The Sword and the Shield” compares Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, who are traditionally portrayed as representing contrasting ideals, or “Dear Martin” takes the form of letters addressed to Martin Luther King from a young black man. Take a look in the shelf – all books can be borrowed!
