I see the promised land : a life of Martin Luther King, Jr.
(Comic)

In an extraordinary jam session between two very distinctive storytelling traditions, African American writer, griot and blues singer Arthur Flowers and Indian scroll painter Manu Chitrakar have created I See the Promised Land, a stunning biography of Martin Luther King Jr. This powerful graphic narrative tells King's story through the major events that occurred in the apartheid South during his lifetime. It includes descriptions of the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the formation of the civil rights groups, and mass movements against segregation, such as the Albany Movement and the Children's Crusade in Birmingham, after which King became Black America's acknowledged leader. We are told about how King's travels to Africa and India influenced him, and about his personal struggles and the political challenges he faced with the rise of Malcolm X and Black Power. This revised edition includes many pages of new art and a fascinating description of how such an extraordinary cross-cultural book came to be. --From book jacket.
