The Rabbi and the Reverend: Joachim Prinz, Martin Luther King Jr., and Their Fight against Silence

This historical account introduces Rabbi Joachim Prinz, who escaped Nazi Germany and became an activist in the United States. He represented the Jewish community and helped organize the 1963 March on Washington. At that march, Prinz addressed the crowd alongside Martin Luther King Jr., who delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech. Brightly colored illustrations and back matter accompany the account of Prinz’s public work.
