- W4236045340 abstract "Reviewed by: M. L. K.: Journey of a King Elizabeth Bush Bolden, Tonya M. L. K.: Journey of a King. Abrams, 2007128p illus. with photographs ISBN 0-8109-5476-1$19.95 Ad Gr. 6-10 Less a general biography than a tribute to a nation-changing career, Bolden's overview of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s life is organized into three sections covering his rise as a public figure during the Montgomery Bus Boycott, his civil rights activities through the waning of his influence in the Albany Movement, and the controversial addition of anti-war and anti-poverty issues to his civil liberties agenda. By focusing narrowly on the public figure, Bolden conveniently overlooks blemishes in his personal life (marital problems, are, for example, passed over with a photo of strained partners, captioned, Like most couples, M. L. and Coretta had their ups and downs), and indeed she admits, I chose not to detail his flaws because I was hard-pressed to see how that helps us focus on 'the dream.' Moreover, she never quite settles into a consistent tone, shifting instead between serious exposition, preacher-like oratory, and even playfulness. She does, however, include [End Page 360] thoughtful discussion of facets of King's career that sometimes receive insufficient attention—his early resistance to ministry and skepticism concerning Scripture, the evolution of his philosophy of nonviolent resistance, the resentment among some other civil rights leaders of his position in the spotlight. Layout is spacious and attractive, with generous leading, a plethora of neatly dated and captioned black-and-white photos, and a change in colored accents from section to section. A timeline sets events in King's career into a broader context, and citations, index, and bibliography are also appended.
