I really liked this book about Martin Luther King, Jr. because it shows how he fought for the freedom of the black people. He was a very nice man and only wanted his race to be equal in society. This tells the story from when he was a little boy until his death. He made a great impact on the whole society and made it where everybody was treated equally regardless of their race, gender, or age.
