Additional Details

first spanish language edition of this comic book presentation of Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Initially produced and printed by the Fellowship for Reconciliation in Nyack, New York in 1957, this Spanish language edition was produced in Uraguay. While printed abroad, this was obviously an attempt to reach out to the Hispanic population of the United States. Curiously, this translation is clumsy and at times distinctly and unnecessarily differs from the English version.
