In the Spirit of Martin is the companion book to the first museum exhibition -- opening in January 2002 at the Smithsonian Institution -- to demonstrate the compelling outpouring of responses to Dr. King’s life. This richly illustrated, large-format book features the work of more than 150 important African American artists as well as other prominent traditional and visionary artists. Original essays by Bernice Johnson Reagon, Julius Lester, June Jordan, John Lewis, Stanley Crouch, and others enrich this celebration of the leader of the Civil Rights movement, one of history’s most important figures.

By Purple Dragon (Louisiana) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: In the Spirit of Martin: The Living Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (Hardcover)
This is an exhibition catalog which shares the art inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King's Life. Each of the visual artists reflects their personal conception and interpretation of King as a man, civil rights leaders, martyr, father, husband, etc. All styles and genres are represented. This book shows the broad appeal of Dr. King and his ability to inspire on a number of different levels. The artworks are reproduced beautifully.
