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. He casts fresh light on the King family's origins as well as MLK's complex relationships with his wife, father, and fellow activists. 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, as well as the nation's most mourned martyr. 600 10 $a King, Martin Luther, $c Jr., $d 1929-1968. 650 0 $a African American civil rights workers $x Biography. 650 0 $a Civil rights workers $z United States $x Biography. 650 0 $a African Americans $x 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 Biography. $x Biography. 651 0 $a United States $x History $x History $y 20th century. 700 1 $a Graham, Dion. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127012259.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E1F6EE18BCE111EEA22CC97A4BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
