![]() Justyce McAllister is a top student at a boarding school in Atlanta, GA. He's on the debate team, has a few best friends, and is ready to get into an Ivy League university. But a few racially charged run-ins with the police leave him searching for answers. He begins the exercise of writing to MLK (Dear Martin) as he learns about and explores the race-based tensions between young black men and the white police officers he meets. A friend recommended this book to me and I was initially intrigued by the concept of writing letters to MLK as a way to seek understanding. That intrigue was then sustained by the engaging characters and (at times) nuanced discussion of racial politics in America today.
