"Martin Rising: Requiem for a King" by Andrea Davis Pinkney & Brian Pinkney 【獻給國王的鎮魂歌,高唱人民之王的璀璨靈魂】 「我有一個夢,在喬治亞州的紅色山崗上,昔日奴隸的兒子能夠同昔日奴隸主的兒子同席而坐,親如手足。」 我們獲得自由的日子,沒有比被禁錮的時間來得長,理所當然的人權對某些國家的人民來說,是得來不易的珍貴寶物。身為世界公民,我們必須要知道這段追尋自由的、非裔民族的故事,充滿多少荊棘與血淚。 馬丁‧路德‧金恩博士是美國黑人人權運動史上最重要的人物之一,他受到印度聖雄甘地的影響,主張以非暴力的態度抵抗不公的法案和種族隔離政策,不僅推動數十場黑人民權運動,也在高達25萬人參與的華盛頓大遊行集會上,留下最知名的演說—《我有一個夢》(I Have a Dream)。 除了最有名的演講文,還有更多令人動容的真實事件應該要讓今日的年輕讀者知道。作者Andrea Davis Pinkney長期關注戰爭與種族議題,曾以”The Red Pencil"描寫蘇丹達佛戰爭種族滅絕行動裡,人民的心聲與孩童成長過程。這次Pinkney以優美真摯的詩體文,寫下對抗種族騎士的行動勇士 ‧ 馬丁路德金恩博士一生的故事,從他的降生、成長,到他投身民運,於田納西州曼非斯市與黑人環衛工一起遊行,爭取正當人權與合理待遇。本書搭配Brian Pinkney精心的插圖詮釋,讓我們看到真正英雄的平凡日常生活,為弱勢人群發聲,與人民同在,不懼強權。一篇篇打動鼓舞人心的詩文,讓我們重新沐浴在因恩博士的鼓舞光輝中,在他為我們掙得和平之地上,不畏黑暗的繼續走下去。 In a rich embroidery of visions, musical cadence, and deep emotion, Andrea and Brian Pinkney convey the final months of Martin Luther King's life, and of his assassination, through metaphor, spirituality, and multi-layers of meaning. Andrea's stunning poetic requiem, illustrated with Brian's lyrical and colorful artwork, brings a fresh perspective to Martin Luther King, the Gandhi-like, peace-loving activist whose dream of equality, and whose courage to make it happen, changed the course of American history. And even in his death, he continues to transform and inspire all of us who share his dream. Wonderful classroom plays of Martin Rising can be performed by using the "Now Is the Time" history and the 1968 timeline at the back of the book as narration, and by adding selected poems to tell the story!
