I See the Promised Land: A Life of Martin Luther King Jr. by Arthur Flowers

4.0

An intriguing mix of style and story design. The visual elements are bold and distinct and structured. The text is lyrical and rhythmic and succeeds at translating a typically oral story into a written, handheld one. The style and rhythm takes a bit of getting used to, but is very effective. I also appreciated the frank look at King's flaws and failures even while singing his virtues and achievements to the sky.

Interestingly, this reminded me very much of Hamilton in its cross-cultural, universally-themed story that takes a look at one man in his historical context.
