Event Details

Join Señor Chon on Monday, January 17th at 10 am on the SDPL Virtual Hub and SY Facebook page, for a special holiday storytime as he reads, My Daddy, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., written by Martin Luther King, III and illustrated by AG Ford.

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

Martin Luther King III was one of those four little children mentioned in Martin Luther King’s groundbreaking “I Have a Dream” speech. In this memoir, Martin Luther King Jr.’s son gives an intimate look at the man and the father behind the civil rights leader. Mr. King’s remembrances show both his warm, loving family and a momentous time in American history.

Special thanks to Amistad and HarperCollins Publishers for permission to share this special book written by his son, and telling us what it was like to have Dr. king as a father in celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day!
