While all of you are out marching, I'm in the quiet library appreciating how clean the shelves are.
Thank you for the fantastic job!
We've got a couple of good books relevant to the day.:
E 185.97 .K5 O18 1985Winner of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Book Award and the Christopher Award, this brilliant examination of the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., portrays a very real man with a powerful dream that helped shape American history. 15 halftone illustrations.
Some great essays on "The Assassination," "The Memphis March," "The Funeral in Atlanta," "The Time For Freedom Has Come" (by King), "The March on Washington," "I Have a Dream...." "Dr. King in Philadelphia, Miss.," "Marching Out of Selma," "Dr. King in Montgomery," "Excerpts from Dr. King's Montgomery Address," "Dr. King's Statement in Memphis," "'A Drum Major for Justice,'" "The F.B.I. and Dr. King," and "Dr. King's Dream Lives on in East Orange" in the book New York Times Great Lives of the Twentieth Century, CT120 .N46 1988.
Finally, just for the fun of it, check out the Playboy Interview with Dr. King and Alex Haley from January 1965. CT120 .P55 1981
ALSO, I got on the EBSCO databases and stumbled across some very cool stuff. In "Academic Search Complete" try using "King, Martin Luther" as a subject term (from the pull down menu next to the search term). Once you get your results limit to a "Visual Search" (on the left).
Or try "Student Research Center" (get to it by clicking on Search other Databases"), enter "King, Martin Luther" as a subject term and limit to "Primary Source Documents"
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention--my Biology Lab partner at St. Ed's is Chrisophe Chahine. How cool is that?
Your faithful word herder,
Ingrid
