Vividly written and exhaustively researched, Jonathan Eigs King: A Life is the first major biography in decades of the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.--and the first to include recently declassified FBI files. In this revelatory new portrait of the preacher and activist who shook the world, the bestselling biographer gives us an intimate view of the courageous and often emotionally troubled human being who demanded peaceful protest for his movement but was rarely at peace with himself. King reveals a minister wrestling with his own human frailties and dark moods, a citizen hunted by his own government, and a man determined to fight for justice even if it proved to be a fight to the death. As he follows MLK from the classroom to the pulpit to the streets of Birmingham, Selma, and Memphis, Eig dramatically re-creates the journey of a man who recast American race relations and became our only modern-day founding father. In this landmark biography, Eig gives us an MLK for our times: a deep thinker, a brilliant strategist, a perplexing husband and father, and a committed radical who led one of historys greatest movements, and whose demands for racial and economic justice remain as urgent today as they were in his lifetime. 600 10 $a King, Martin Luther, $c Jr., $d 1929-1968. 650 0 $a African American civil rights workers $v Biography. 650 0 $a Civil rights workers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Biography. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Civil rights movements $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a African American Baptists $x Clergy $v Biography. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x History $y 20th century. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Playaway. $2 gsafd 700 1 $a Graham, Dion, $e narrator. 710 2 $a Playaway Digital Audio, $e issuing body. 710 2 $a Playaway Products, LLC, $e issuing body. 941 $a 3 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012434.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20231103010213.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230802012657.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8BEE5A9A30FC11EEBC3B3D423BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
