This time last year, I shared a quote and a story about Dr. Martin Luther King. Here's the quote:
“Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.”
And here's the link to that post if you care to go back and read it:
Now a book I wrote is appearing on lists suggested for students studying Dr. King, the Civil Rights movement, Freedom Summer. I truly appreciate my book appearing next to the likes of
One Crazy Summer and
The Watsons Go to Birmingham in this

And this newspaper article from the Winston-Salem Journal.
Feeling very proud and very humble this morning!

Wonderful, Gusty.
Thanks for linking back to my post! I truly appreciated how your book gives insight on what it's like to be an "ordinary" kid living during those tumultuous times and how standing up was a really scary and dangerous thing but that everyone can be a hero and by standing up for what they believe in -- even it means attending a party -- can actually change the world.
Thank you for your wonderful book!
that's great Augusta!
Sounds WONDERFUL. I'm thrilled for you. And this was just the beginning...
