As Parker writes, "John's granddaughter asks Grandpa Louie what made him decided to get involved in the movement. John tells her that at a young age, he had a calling to fight for the equal rights of all people. It started in 1955, when for the first time, he heard Dr. King on the radio and he knew Dr. King was speaking the truth about freedom and equality for all. 'I was eighteen when I first met Dr. King. I believed in his message and wanted to follow him,' John says.

"John asks his grandbaby if she knows what's special about today. 'It's Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, but I really don't know a lot about Martin Luther King Jr.,' Tamika says sadly.

"'What a great man. Dr. King and I stood together in solidarity for equal rights for all people. We got into "good trouble."'"
