Martin Luther King Jr.
By Mary Winget
Grades 3-5
BIOGRAPHY
This is a wonderful book on the life of Martin Luther King Jr. When he was born in the US, African Americans didn't have the same rights as whites. Martin Luther King dreamed big and he wanted people to have the same opportunities as everyone else no matter what their skin color is. He was not one to resort to weapons but used his words and actions to get his desires across. He made a huge impact on freedom, the freedom for Americans specifically black Americans. This book clearly defines each important thing along the path of his life and the desire for equality. This book is broken up into chapters to go through his biography which is a great way to organize the material. The book is very informational and would be an amazing book to have in the classroom. It is basic enough for students to be able to understand but has a lot of facts that are important to this part in history. Martin Luther King is a key figure for civil rights and should be studied in EVERY classroom. This book is a great tool to incorporate and I have already purchased it for my future classroom library:).
