Didn't think the writing was fantastic, and was disappointed with how much of "her" story was actually about Martin (but tried to reconcile that with the fact that, hello, her husband was Martin Luther King, Jr. and obviously that was pretty significant in her life). Was pleased to find mentions toward the end about civil rights not just being her husband's cause, how she claimed it as her cause before she ever met him, and she continued working for decades after he died. She was a champion of all human rights, including those of homosexuals, the poor, women, and other (not just black) minorities. She was anti-war and anti-violence. I don't think I've ever read of someone who was so involved in so many different spheres, and I'm sad now to learn that she only died seven years ago, but I didn't know anything about her while she was alive. A truly amazing, inspirational woman. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
