The Day King Died: Remembered Through Two Voices and a Choir In a poignant and powerful narrative by Ann Bausum, illustrated by a chorus of talented artists, we step back in time to April 3, 1968. On that fateful day, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. arrived in Memphis, oblivious to the tragic events that would soon unfold. His unforgettable "Mountaintop" speech, delivered that evening, echoed with hope and resolve. Little did the world know that these words would be his last, forever etching his legacy into history. As the sun set on April 4, 1968, the world was forever changed. Dr. King's assassination sent shockwaves across the globe, and no one could have predicted the profound and enduring impact his life would have on the fight for civil rights and social justice. A Harmonious Tribute: This remarkable book interweaves excerpts from Dr. King's iconic "I've Been to the Mountaintop" speech and the soul-stirring hymn "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" - a song that played at his funeral. Through these powerful words and the collective artistry of the illustrators, "The Day King Died" pays tribute to the last 24 hours of Dr. King's life, preserving his memory with grace and reverence. A Timeless Legacy: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s teachings and dreams remain as relevant today as they were during the civil rights movement. This book serves as a poignant reminder of his enduring legacy, challenging us to carry forward the torch of justice, equality, and love that he so valiantly carried in his time. "The Day King Died" is a beautifully crafted homage that invites readers to reflect on the impact of a single individual whose courage and determination shaped the course of history. It's a poignant and timely tribute to a man whose dream continues to inspire and guide us.
