Read MKE

There is no better way to celebrate this month than READING about black history!

Congratulations! Yolanda Renee King, the granddaughter of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is continuing her grandfather's legacy. When she was 15 years old, she wrote "We Dream a World," a picture book meant to inspire readers of all ages to dream big, act peacefully, and stand up for justice in their communities.

Yolanda has been inspired by her grandparents, Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, and she feels a responsibility to continue their work. She often speaks at schools and events, including the March on Washington, encouraging young people to use their voices for good.

Her message is about motivating the next generation of dreamers to take peaceful action and make the world a more fair and equal place. Her book was released on January 2, 2024, and it is inspiring readers everywhere.
