Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Dr. Angela Farris Watkins, for a very special reading of her book “Love Will See You Through.” The book shares Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s six principles of nonviolence in a language that children can understand. These principles of nonviolence are the pathway to creating the Beloved Community. Examples of the principles that one must embrace include that you “have courage” and “love your enemies.” These six hallmarks of virtue and nonviolence reinforce the truth that “the universe honors love” and will inspire readers of all ages.
