Martin's Dream by Jane Kurtz (author) (US edition)

Find out how a man called Martin Luther King made a speech that changed the world. It told of his big dream: that all people could be equal. That might sound obvious. But the world that Dr King lived in wasn’t equal at all. It was all about what colour you were born. If you were black, you were treated as second best. In parts of America, black people weren’t even allowed to share schools or bus seats with white people. Martin Luther King wanted to change this. So he made a great speech that shook society. One of the most famous and important speeches ever made. This book uses colour pictures and simple rhymes to show you the impact that Martin’s dream made, and why it still matters today.
