New biography offers a more revealing portrait of MLK
“King: A Life” makes use of new source material to deliver the first fresh assessment of Martin Luther King Jr. in decades.
During his life and since his assassination, Martin Luther King Jr. was and has been the face of the Civil Rights movement, but how much do you know about the man behind the myth? A new biography taps new material, including an unpublished memoir by King’s father and FBI surveillance tapes, to give a full, unflinching portrait of King.
