Just before Martin Luther King, Jr. day, incoming president Trump took to Twitter to respond to Representative John Lewis’ tv interview. John Lewis was critical of Trump. But, it was Mr. Trump’s response that caught the attention of the people.
In what was technically two tweets (not one like my blog headline suggests), Mr. Trump brought John Lewis’s name to the headlines: Rep. John Lewis’s books sell out following Donald Trump’s attacks. This freedom fighter’s book, on the eve of MLK, has sold out on Amazon. His book March is the number one best seller.
March has a front and center spot on our library MLK display, and I believe Lewis is highlighted in others.
This week, a tweet will bring more people to know the story this Civil Rights Leader. The power of a tweet to sell books. Amazing.
Your Perspective: Where in your library’s top reads is the graphic novel March? Do you expect more interest in the title after this week’s news?
