Description

"Echo in the Distance" written by Shayla Michelle and illustrated by Kprecia Ambers, is a moving tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream shared from the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963.

Millions watched as the civil rights leader delivered his hope for the future, his dream for what America could be.

Decades later, the iconic "I Have A Dream" speech has continued to transcend time.

"Echo in the Distance" reflects on the speech, the history that followed and serves as a reminder that each individual can play a role in realizing the dream first shared in 1963.

In the words of author Shayla Michelle, "It's not too late. Dreams can come true. It starts with you."
