The Cart that Carried Martin

The true story of Martin Luther King Jr.’s funeral, well-told, given sentiment by focusing on the simplicity of the cart that carried his body.  It will be a nice addition to a robust collection that wishes to round out its coverage of MLK.  For smaller collections, or for young readers first learning about King, they’ll need to start with a book that gives more concrete information about his accomplishments, or they won’t care about his funeral, but for those who already have a grounding on who the man was, this book provides an additional chapter to the story that has not been told before.
