Title Description
By now, the outlines of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s life are well known. As he grew up, he admired ministers like his father who believed the church was an instrument for bettering the lot of African-Americans. During the summer of 1963, he led mass nonviolent demonstrations in Birmingham, Alabama, where he was imprisoned but where he was responsible for massive legislative changes in civil rights. From the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, he gave his famous "I Have A Dream" speech. In 1964, he was Time's Man of The Year, and received the Nobel Peace Prize. By 1968, however, he was unable to heal the rifts in African-American society, and was assassinated on April 4 of that year. Frady's succinct biography ties this monumental life together.

"Frady...perceptively analyzes how King's political strategizing emerged from his often conflicted emotional needs." (Publishers Weekly)
