Review: Martin Luther King: Civil Rights Leader - Who Was Martin Luther King, Jr? is a 116-page biography of America’s greatest civil rights leaders. It is of one 250 Who Was? Titles, a series started in 2002, by Penguin Workshop. This particular biography is an excellent book for students in grades 4-6 studying their American Civil Rights Movement. The book shows the good deeds Dr. King performed during his life, but neglects to illustrate the man’s flaws. There are illustrations throughout the book showing Martin Luther King, Jr, his family, and the times he lived in. Students will read about Jim Crow Laws that legally separated the races in the American South making African-Americans second class citizens unable to eat in most restaurants, attend separate schools from their white peers, and drink from separate water fountains. They will also learn about Mahatma Gandhi, an Indian spiritual leader who led peaceful non-violent protests in India to free his homeland from British rule. King crafted his response to racism following Gandhi’s example. Key outcomes to the American Civil War are touched upon in this King biography as well as other civil rights leaders such as Rosa Parks and Jesse Jackson. They will also learn about the Freedom Riders, the Montgomery, Alabama Bus Boycott, and the Civil Rights Bill signed into law by President Johnson on July 2, 1964, almost one hundred years after slavery was abolished in America. For teachers teaching on Zoom or in a classroom, or parents home schooling their youngsters activity sheets are available on the WHOHQ website (whowasbookseries.com) that will add to your lesson and spark classroom discussions. Finally, NetFlix offers a program, “The Who Was? Show”making history fun through the lives of two famous people in history in each episode. For example, in their first season opener we get a glimpse into the lives of Ghandi and Ben Franklin. Review: Great MLK Book - My son chose Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as his influential American for a class project. That said, he wanted to read additional books outside of class to learn more about his life. He’s 9 years old, a 3rd grader and this book was the perfect pace and vocabulary for his age that he finished the book the same day! Easy to read, full of facts—which also led to more questions open to discussion. Loved how he got engaged. This book wasn’t hard for him to understand and in fact, made him want to know more. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #11,975 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Children's Social Activists Biographies (Books) #12 in Children's Multicultural Biographies #21 in Children's Black & African American Story Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (2,191) | | Dimensions | 5.31 x 0.24 x 7.64 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | Grade level | 3 - 7 | | ISBN-10 | 0448447231 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0448447230 | | Item Weight | 3.49 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of series | Who Was? | | Print length | 112 pages | | Publication date | December 27, 2007 | | Publisher | Penguin Workshop | | Reading age | 7 - 10 years, from customers | ## Images ![Who Was Martin Luther King, Jr.? - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91o+uOSyDBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Martin Luther King: Civil Rights Leader *by S***R on November 14, 2020* Who Was Martin Luther King, Jr? is a 116-page biography of America’s greatest civil rights leaders.
