A moving portrait of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. from his niece My Uncle Martin's Big Heart is a story about love: love between a young girl and her uncle, and all the love she sees her uncle share-with his family members, with his church congregation, and with all people. In this inspiring narrative about Martin Luther King Jr.-told by his niece-young readers will discover the story of the man behind the civil rights hero and activist, one of the most influential figures of the twentieth century. As Angela Farris Watkins, PhD, introduces children to her uncle, she presents them with a rare glimpse into his life at home, including special family moments. What unfolds is a story of character and service to God, family, and humankind, and of how one man's extraordinary love changed the history of the United States and the world.
