King - Paperback

by Ho Che Anderson (Author)

This comic is a unique testimony of resistance, tenacity and courage. A clear sample, that avoids falling into condescension, of the risky inconveniences and the very diverse obstacles that the Reverend King had to overcome to fight a battle that, perhaps, is still open. King. A biography of Martin Luther King is a fundamental graphic work that brings us closer to one of the most relevant characters in the political history of the 20th century. From the bus boycott in Montgomery, the life of Martin Luther King is crossed by the fight for equality and the development of civil rights for the black population of the United States. It is a story that reaches its peak in the famous speech I have a dream and in the subsequent award of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 and that ends, fatefully, in his assassination in April 1968. This comic is a unique testimony of resistance, tenacity and value. A clear sample, that avoids falling into condescension, of the risky inconveniences and the very diverse obstacles that the Reverend King had to overcome to fight a battle that, perhaps, is still open.
