My Brother Martin by Christine King Farris
Renowned educator Christine King Farris, older sister of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., joins with celebrated illustrator Chris Soentpiet to tell this inspirational story of how one boyhood experience inspired a movement. Mother Dear, one day I'm going to turn this world upside down. Long before he became a world-famous dreamer, Martin Luther King Jr. was a little boy who played jokes and practiced the piano and made friends without considering race. But growing up in the segregated south of the 1930s taught young Martin a bitter lesson--little white children and little black children were not to play with one another. Martin decided then and there that something had to be done. And so he began the journey that would change the course of American history.Christine King Farris is the last living member of the King family and the sister of the Reverend Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. She has been a member of the Spelman College faculty since 1958 and is the author of the children's book My Brother Martin. She and her spouse live in Atlanta.
