March On! Video

Take a look at the power of this book about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s most famous speech. March On! was written about the speech known as the "I Have a Dream" speech. It was delivered by King during a march on Washington, D.C., on August 28, 1963.

I read the book March On! to review it for Scholastic News Edition 4. I loved reading this book because it reminded me what one person with a dream can accomplish.

As I read the book, I felt deeply moved because Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s speeches were so packed with power. Sometimes I had to brush away a tear as I read.

To get an idea of what I’m talking about, take a look at an excerpt from this video of Lynn Whitfield narrating the book, which is written by Dr. Christine King Farris, King's sister.

The book is illustrated by London Ladd. You can read my story about that interview as well. Also, check out my review of the book!
