Martin Rising Requiem for a King by Andrea Davis Pinkney and Brian Pinkney*

This husband-wife team have created an unique piece of art.
Through  "docu-poems" (as Mrs. Pinkney calls them), Martin Luther King Jr.'s last days and months on earth are shared. 
So many different books about this man have been written yet these poems invite the reader to consider some novel ideas.  The artwork is abstract and fitting.
Mrs. Pinkney invites teachers to utilize these poems and the timeline for class productions.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
