" HAMSA, in conjunction with our parent organization AIC [American Islamic Congress], is proud to announce the release of a groundbreaking Arabic edition of a 50-year-old comic book on Martin Luther King and the power of nonviolence. Several thousand copies were printed in Cairo, as part of an effort spearheaded by AIC-Egypt Director Dalia Ziada (right). They are being distributed across the Middle East.
Called “The Montgomery Story,” the comic book was published in 1958 by the Fellowship on Reconciliation and helped inspire the American civil-rights movement in the 1960s.

The comic book ends with a section on “how the Montgomery Method works,” outlining essential techniques of nonviolence.
