ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Dear Martin by Nic Stone follows Justyce McAllister, a high-achieving African American high school senior navigating the predominantly white world of Braselton Preparatory Academy. After a jarring encounter with law enforcement, Justyce begins writing letters to the late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., seeking guidance on how to live in a society marked by racial tension and injustice. The narrative explores Justyce's personal journey as he grapples with issues of identity, prejudice, and the search for his place in the world while dealing with friendships, romance, and the challenges of his environment. The book delves into themes of racial profiling, social inequality, and the applicability of King's philosophy in the modern era.
