Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story

In 1958, the Fellowship of Reconciliation published this landmark 16-page comic, written by Alfred Hassler and Benton J. Resnik with art by Sy Barry, to explain the principles of nonviolent resistance through the story of the Montgomery Bus Boycott and Martin Luther King Jr. A pioneering piece of educational publishing, it was distributed widely during the Civil Rights Movement and later inspired activists worldwide, including figures in the Arab Spring. Its compact, direct format made complex ideas of peaceful protest accessible, cementing its legacy as a quietly revolutionary tool for social change.
