Details
Register and join bestselling author Jonathan Eig on Zoom. His most recent award-winning title, King: A Life, vividly written and exhaustively researched, is the first major biography in decades of 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, Eig gives us an intimate view of King, who masterfully employed peaceful protest in the streets but was rarely at peace with himself. 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.
