Photographer David Hume Kennerly with his LBJ Presidential Library Vietnam War Summit hat. He just returned from participating in this event in Austin. David won a Pulitzer Prize for photographing the Vietnam War.
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.
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.
With Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer David Hume Kennerly and on my birthday, how great is that. Thanks to photographer James Lee Stern for making this image.
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.
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.
