Martin & Mahalia: His Words, Her Song by Andrea Davis Pinkney

4.0

This was a really nice story about Martin Luther King Jr. and his friend Mahalia Jackson, who until reading this book I didn't know too much about. I thought it was a nice story, but there were a lot of religious undertones that made the book feel more like a call to Christianity than a history or biography of Martin and Mahalia. I wanted to feel more inspired by what they did and not the religion they both subscribed to.
