#BlackHistoryMonth
I knew I picked the right book for Black History Month when the above quote was in the prologue. I needed this quote as Hope seems to be in short supply currently.

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!
