Overview
Micah King, the author of Jesus Had Hair Like Me, takes us on a journey and provide a new perspective into who we know as Jesus. -The book is more about the characteristics of Jesus, as much as his physical attributes.- says King, -I do re-imagine his physical attributes so more people like me can identify with him.- -With the rise of political and social unrest in the United States and all around the world. I felt like Black people everywhere need some type of positive image to look to, and who's more positive than Jesus.- proclaims King. Jesus Had Hair Like Me uses a poetic style to parallel the struggle of Black people, both past and present to that of Jesus. -If we take a look at Jesus' struggle during his last days, we can see the similarities to our struggle.- explained King, -He was falsely accused, beaten, and sentenced to death, and brutally murdered just for being Jesus.-
