Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(5 pp) Faith Ringgold (1998) a folk artist and
author, tells in her children's book, My Dream of
Martin Luther King "This time we had come to mourn
Martin Luther King's death by trading in bags
containing our prejudice, hate, ignorance, violence,
and fear for the slain hero's dream. We emptied
the bags onto a great pile, and as the last bag was
dumped, the pile exploded into a fire so bright that
it lit up the whole world. There,emblazoned across
the sky, were the words: EVERY GOOD THING STARTS
WITH A DREAM." This book, supposedly for ages four
through eight, simply states one of King's greatest
contributions: the ability to dream or envision
how things should be. Dr. King's life continues to
teach us that with courage, vision and
determination, every one of us has the power to
help change the course of our nation and the world.
