Researching Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr Day is a holiday held on the third Monday of January in the USA. It celebrates the life and achievements of Martin Luther King Jr, the influential American civil rights leader. In this blog post, we will look at some of the resources that are available about Martin Luther King at Canterbury Christ Church University Library, in media, print and online.

The library’s American Studies subject guide is a good place to start https://www.canterbury.ac.uk/library/guides/subject-guides/american-studies.aspx as it provides general information about searching for books, journals and websites related to US society, culture and politics.
