Martin Luther King, Jr. book
I mention this book by Martin Luther King, Jr. in my novel about two young kids in 1967 who meet the great man. I think this would be a good author photo for my book, and a nice tribute to MLK.

Posing once more with the Martin Luther King book
An African-American friend of mine visited the other day because she wanted to see my book on MLK, and she took this photo of me with his great book WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE: CHAOS OR COMMUNITY?, which is featured in my “fairy tale” about MLK and a couple of kids in 1967. The themes of his book are as relevant today as they were then.
Martin Luther King Day 2016
Today is Martin Luther King Day, so I posed with a first edition Martin Luther King, Jr.’s 1967 book WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE: CHAOS OR COMMUNITY? This vintage copy reminds me that in that year, MLK achieved so much that he imparted to people. I’m holding in my hands a copy that could have been given to my fictional kids in my novel, in 1967, by MLK himself. Photograph by Robert Spencer.
First edition MLK book with compliments card
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE: CHAOS OR COMMUNITY? just arrived, along with a collector’s item, a business card that Martin Luther King’s publisher gave him in 1967 to put in the books that he gave to special people. The card and the book are both in great shape.
Posing with Martin Luther King Book
Today, at a display at a local bookstore, holding a book about Martin Luther King. Hopefully, next year, I’ll be standing here with my own book about MLK.
I like this image, looking at a great man and reflecting
While I was researching my MLK book, I watched a lot of videos of Martin Luther King giving his speeches, and I listened to them as well, and read them. There certainly hasn’t been as eloquent a speaker since MLK. Check out “The Three Dimensions of a Complete Life”; and “Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence.” I challenge you to listen to MLK give a speech and not get emotional about it. (In other words, you might tear up.)
