On this day, we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for standing for equality and justice. We know him as a leader and a civil rights activist, but did you know he was a fellow #blerd? We love this image of King throwing up the Vulcan salute (swipe left)! King also convinced Nichelle Nichols to continue with Star Trek after Nichols considered quitting after the first season. SOURCE Atlanta Journal Constitute @ajcnews Learn more about how Nichelle Nichols and Star Trek helped advance civil rights with TO BOLDLY GO written by @angeladalton_author and illustrated by @bylaurensemmer. We are cohosting a free virtual book launch on Wednesday at 5PM PST with @cafeconlibros_bk, @coloursofus, @kidochicago, and @rvabookbar.

Have you had a dream 💭come true? Was it a good dream, I hope? This week something amazing happened. ☎️ I called Rick Simonson at the Elliott Bay Book Company on Seattle’s Capitol Hill. 😯 I hesitated to reach out because it had been years since we last spoke. But I called & introduced myself & he remembered me. I told him I’d written a book ✍️ & asked if it would be OK to bring him a copy? Elliott Bay is Seattle’s crown jewel 👑 of independent bookstores & I first met Rick there in the ‘70s. He’s been with EB for 45+ years & is the principal book buyer,📗📘📙 but he’s much, much more. He nurtured its literary series 🗣️ to become the most influential in the world 🏆 & has been credited for growing Seattle’s reputation as one of the best book cities in the US. 🇺🇸 Rick is a literary evangelist & discoverer of powerful, impactful & beautifully written books. 📚 He shared his excitement about his annual trip to the Jaipur Literature Festival 🇮🇳 #JLF, where he’s a well-known figure. His reputation extends across continents & time zones. 🌍🌏🌎 So why did he agree to place an order for #Blogging on Instagram? 📖 He admitted it’s outside his normal orbit, 🪐 but I believe he wanted to help me. And I am so grateful! 🙏🥰 If you’re in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, stop in & browse. 🔍You’ll find treasures curated by Rick, @bookmonger_seattle & EB staff members. They share great recommendations based on human intelligence, not algorithms. 🧠 As you guys know, I’m big on ((HUGS)) & when it came to Rick, there were plenty delivered in person. 🤗 When you can gather the courage to ask,❓sometimes the response is rewarding. Have you asked for something & been surprised by a positive outcome? 🙌 I hope so. Please share! . . . There’s a link in my bio to the Elliot Bay website. I hope you’ll support me & @elliottbaybookco. Also, if you’re in the #WestSeattleJunction in #WestSeattle, @PegasusBookExchange has 3 copies! . . .
