🌟 Recommendation Details

It is Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday on January 15th, and the day after that is also a holiday to celebrate Mr. King's work. This story is related to Martin Luther King Jr. It's about Martin's friend, a white named Bobby. They played together in a lot next to Bobby's father's store in the summer. Today, Martin was going to tell Bobby about his first day at school. Bobby says he is busy with his shop. However, Bobby keeps avoiding Martin. When Martin sees Bobby getting in his mother's car, he tells Martin that he cannot play with Martin because he is white and Martin is black, and that his father doesn't allow him to play with blacks. Martin tells his family about it, and his father says he doesn't like segregation either. Then, Martin says he WILL end segregation. No matter what. I suggest this book because it teaches about how segregation is bad, and it's related to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
