  • 本書介紹
關於美國人權運動推動者Martin Luther King的事蹟，除了最有名的演講文，還有更多令人動容的真實事件應該要讓今日的年輕讀者知道。作者Andrea Davis Pinkney以優美真摯的詩文，一篇篇敘述馬丁路德金恩被暗殺前的一個月的故事，當時他於田納西州曼非斯市與黑人環衛工一起遊行，爭取正當人權與合理待遇。本書搭配Brian Pinkney精心的插圖詮釋，讓我們看到真正英雄的平凡日常生活，與未弱勢人群發聲，與人民同在，不懼強權。一篇篇打動鼓舞人心的詩文，讓我們重新沐浴在因恩博士的鼓舞光輝中，在他為我們掙得和平之地上，不畏黑暗的繼續走下去。

* "Unique and remarkable." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

* "Each poem trembles under the weight of the story it tells... Martin Rising packs an emotional wallop and, in perfect homage, soars when read aloud." --Booklist, starred review

In a rich embroidery of visions, musical cadence, and deep emotion, Andrea and Brian Pinkney convey the final months of Martin Luther King's life -- and of his assassination -- through metaphor, spirituality, and multilayers of meaning.

Andrea's stunning poetic requiem, illustrated with Brian's lyrical and colorful artwork, brings a fresh perspective to Martin Luther King, the Gandhi-like, peace-loving activist whose dream of equality -- and whose courage to make it happen -- changed the course of American history. And even in his death, he continues to transform and inspire all of us who share his dream.

Wonderful classroom plays of Martin Rising can be performed by using the "Now Is the Time" history and the 1968 timeline at the back of the book as narration -- and adding selected poems to tell the story!
