Great Sale Prices - Closet Clear Out A beautiful copy of this fine book, an illustrated, oversized picture book with the entire text of Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech. This book was illustrated by fifteen artists, each of whom was a recipient of the Coretta Scott King Award and/or a Coretta Scott King Honor Award. Each has a full-page illustration opposite some of the speech's text. And each artist has contributed a paragraph explaining their illustration and the feelings behind it. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s classic speech is creatively illustrated by 15 Coretta Scott King Award-winning artists. Signed statements from the artists explain the emotions they were tying to capture and why and how they used certain colors and tones. The size and medium of the original art are given. This book evokes the sound of King's voice as it was captured on that historic August day in 1963. Although some pictures are more touching and sobering than others, from cover to cover this is a beautiful book. A foreword by Coretta Scott King is included. A biographical sketch, preceded by a black-and-white photograph, highlights critical events in Martin Luther King, Jr.'s life. There is normal vintage wear at the cover corners. I zoomed in and magnified the corners in the pictures. Also you can zoom in on the pictures. No previous owner name or marks Publisher: Scholastic Press; 1st edition (November 1, 1997)
