MLK comic book

http://www.ep.tc/mlk/

"A copy of this comic is held in the Smithsonian and many Civil Rights leaders recognize this as one of the most important AND PERSUASIVE items of
the 50s in establishing or explaining their cause to the world, as well as giving many black youths the courage and direction to hold their own political protests; many notable sit-ins and demonstrations link to this
comic book getting into the right hands - and it did get around, literally devoured by black college students at the time. We're DELIGHTED to offer you not just the American version of this comic but also the SPANISH edition, of which maybe two or three copies are known to exist. After extensive effort and search, we were able to find a copy in Uruguay. Not joking. Completely redrawn and translated, click back and forth to compare art, some of the differences between the two are great."

Have you read The Secret Life of Bees? It is just sinking in how recent the Civil Rights were enacted. That book really brought it home for some reason. I was born in '66, just two years later. I always thought, for some reason, that the vote was for everyone, always. For me, it sure explains a lot of the racism I see in TN. Explains, not excuses.
