Georgia native son Martin Luther King continues to inspire
non-violent resistance to oppression,
now in Arabic comic book form in Egypt.
Egyptian activist Dalia Ziada obtained rights to translate
The Montgomery Story from 1958 into Arabic.
She says:
When, at first, we went to print the comic book, a security officer
blocked publication. So we called him and demanded a meeting. He agreed,
and we read through the comic book over coffee to address his concerns. At
the end, he granted permission to print and then asked: “Could I have
a few extra copies for my kids?”
