MLK Day - 2021: Still in Transit

Each week, I found it difficult to choose just one person to “win” what should be digested by all. I ended up giving away 20 books when all was said and done. I hope these books, like planted seeds, bear much fruit. These are the books I gave away, hoping to inspire and encourage:
