We Dream A World: Carrying the Light from My Grandparents – Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King

“The book will be published timed with the 95th birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr., and serves as his grandchild’s gift to him – and the world.

As a national civil rights figure, Yolanda Renee King is leading a new generation of modern activists. Though the 15-year-old never met her grandfather, she has galvanized countless young people to stand up and speak out on a range of issues affecting the world today – racial equality, gun violence, climate change, poverty, education, and more.  Her new book, a call for unity and equality, is inspired by Langston Hughes’s seminal poem I Dream A World. The book’s narrative expresses Yolanda’s deep love for her grandparents, while also speaking to children everywhere about her hopes for a new future, as expressed through her call-and-response affirmation that brings thunderous participation at her public speeches and addresses: “Spread the word! Have you heard? All across the nation, we are going to be a great generation!” – pubSS’23
