My novel-in-progress is set during the 1966 Chicago Freedom Movement, when Martin Luther King, Jr. came to Chicago to organize the community in their demand for open housing. I have been immersing myself in Dr. King's words for months, continually finding inspiration in his example.

Here is the CODEPINK alert I wrote to mark his birthday. Be sure to click the link within the alert to the powerful MLK Flash movie--it's a stark reminder of how relevant his words still are today.
