I See the Promised Land: A Life of Martin Luther King Jr. (Revised)
I See the Promised Land: A Life of Martin Luther King Jr. (Revised) | Arthur Flowers
3 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
This stunning graphic novel biography of Martin Luther King, Jr. describes the apartheid South of his time, which in many ways was not very different from the early days of slavery. Included are descriptions of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the formation of civil rights groups, mass movements against segregation, such as the Albany Movement and the Children s Crusade in Birmingham, and the influence on King of Gandhi, with his nonviolent approach to resistance. Flowers text smoothly incorporates excerpts from many of King s most moving speeches and concludes with a brief look at his legacy. Flowers tells a masterful story in musical prose, while Manu Chitrakar carries the tale into the vivid idiom of Patua art, turning King s historic journey into a truly universal legacy."

"My feet is tired she say, but my soul is rested."

Unlike any other graphic novel I've read, it took me a bit to get into the rhythm but I ultimately loved it. A great overview of MLK Jr's life and the Civil Rights Movement told with a mashup of a traditional oral history telling and Patua art.

Another awesome #blameitonlitsy pick!

Finally! Home from work, dinner eaten, march posts/articles read, kids in bed...and now I read (with some minor husband interruption.) About 1.25 hours of reading and I finished this one. It just arrived today on hold and the timing was awesome. #24in48 Hoping for more like #8in48

In going through my GR shelves, I was reminded of this amazing graphic novel bio of MLK, Jr. It hasn't been shelved yet on Litsy, and it's time to change that! It's unique, too, in that the artist, Manu Chitrakar, utilizes the Patua folk art style to convey King's life. #inspiredbyMLK #ReadJanuary
