A quick, easy illustrated biography of MLK. This is, I believe, aimed at YA readers. However for any reader it is a compressed and helpful overview of not only MLK's life but the arc of civil rights in struggled and accomplishment in the '50s and '60s.

Martin Luther King Jr dijuluki The Black Ghandi. Mereka berdua memiliki kesamaan, yaitu memperjuangkan perdamaian dan kesetaraan dengan cara tanpa kekerasan. Kisah hidup Martin menjelaskan dengan terang bagi orang yang tidak percaya bahwa kata-kata memiliki kekuatan yang besar. Martin mengubah Amerika lewat pidato-pidatonya. Ratusan ribu orang afrika amerika dan amerika kulit putih terpesona dengan kata-kata Martin. Kekerasan tidak akan hilang jika dilawan dengan kekerasan, hanya cinta yang mampu memusnahkan permusuhan dan mengubahnya menjadi persaudaraan.

"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."

Martin Luther King Jr berpegang teguh pada keyakinannya bahwa semua manusia berhak untuk bebas dari perbudakan dan berhak untuk merasakan keamanan serta persamaan perlakukan di muka umum. Hal tersebut terbukti ketika ia menentang pemerintah Amerika yang mengirim pasukan militer untuk memerangi Vietnam. Pada saat itu orang Afrika Amerika belum diterima dengan baik dan masih dalam proses perjuangan untuk pembebasan. Pernyataan Martin yang melawan keputusan pemerintah, secara strategi politik pastinya akan merugikan dirinya. tapi prinsip semua orang haruslah bebas tetap teguh dipegang Martin.

"The time is always right to do what is right"

Kebenaran harus dibela kapanpun. Tidak ada waktu yang lebih taktis dan strategis untuk membela kebenaran, karena jika yang dibela itu memang kebenaran maka waktu itu sudah tepat!
