Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, this biography of Martin Luther King, Jr. covers the entire life of the leader of the Civil Rights Movement

Winner of the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for Biography and the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award, this is the most comprehensive book ever written about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Based on more than seven hundred interviews, access to King's personal papers, and thousands of FBI documents, Bearing the Cross traces King's metamorphosis from a young, earnest pastor into the foremost spokesperson of the black freedom struggle. At the book's heart is King's growing awareness of the symbolic meaning of the cross as he gradually accepts a life that will demand the ultimate in self-sacrifice. This is a towering portrait of a man at the epicenter of one of the most dramatic periods in our history.

Classic dress at a great price
Size: Medium, Color: Black Ivory Geometric
I was shocked, in the best way when I received this dress as the material is thick and heavy. I was looking for a dress that I could take on business trips that was comfortable, stylish and didn't wrinkle. This dress checked all the boxes. It's a classic style that will never go out of style.

Runs smaller than my regular size.
Size: Large, Color: Hot Pink Leafy Floral Ditsy
Medium weight fabric and decent quality. Tight fit across bust and under arms and also waist. I am not a big busted woman although I am not so many inches different from bust to waist (it gapped at waist upon sitting. I had to exchange it for a bigger size. So my experience leads me to belive that this manufacturer sizes smaller than what I would expect from expensive clothing. For the price is a good choice if you remember to go at least one size up from your regular size.

Perfect comfy on the go or everyday wear! Preschool?
Size: 3T, Color: Dusty Rose/Pink Text Print/White Rugby Stripe
Sounds silly but these Amazon essentials shirts are better than some other name brands. I bought same brand for myself. These shirts have been camping, dirty, and stains come out, they keep their shape and their color. I absolutely love them. Moms & Dads, if you want inexpensive and still decent shirts I recommend these. They come in a 3 pack, there’s no itchy tag, they are loose fitting, they don’t shrink, and the colors are true to picture.
