A patron is looking for a fiction title (published in 98 or 99). The
author is an African American (may be) and a picture of Martin Luther King
is on the cover. I recall the book, but not the title or the author (it
must be the holiday brain jammmm). HELP...please

Could this be DREAMER by Charles Johnson? It seems to fit the description.

Sounds like "The King Of Babylon Shall Not Come Against You" by George
Garrett but that title was published in 1996.
