Description:

As beatings, killings, bombings, threats, and imprisoning loomed in the background, Martin Luther King emerged as a courageous leader determined to uplift all Americans, even at the cost of his life. This biography serves as an exceptional introduction to the foremost civil rights activist. Using a captivating narrative, it portrays a young Martin as the son and grandson of renowned preachers, drawn to his own calling as a minister and committed to challenging the deeply-rooted racism of both the South and North through a peaceful movement that would shape the course of American history. King's story is highly compelling, from his early life in a close-knit black community in Atlanta, to his education at Morehouse College, Crozer Theological Seminary, and Boston University, to his courtship of Coretta Scott and his pivotal role in major demonstrations and sit-ins that shook the South and beyond. Readers gain valuable insight into the Kennedy and Johnson administrations through King's negotiations for equal rights for the black community.
