The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.edited by Clayborne Carson
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 4,3 MB
Overview: Carson, director of the Martin Luther King Jr. Papers Project and author of A Knock at Midnight: Inspiration from the Great Sermons of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., has pieced together an incomplete study of King’s life by supplementing his extant autobiographies with previously unpublished and published writings, interviews and speeches. If King’s rhetorical flourishes and use of the word "negro" sometimes seem outdated, the compilation still offers a concise first-person account of his life from his birth in Atlanta in 1929 to his awakening social consciousness and discovery of the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. History propelled King to center stage in the struggle for black liberation. When Rosa Parks refused to surrender her bus seat in 1955, the "once dormant and quiescent Negro community was now fully awake" and King, along with many others in Montgomery’s black community, organized the bus boycott that would launch King into his leadership role in the civil rights movement. The book offers glimpses of King’s family life as well a view of famous Americans such as Stokely Carmichael, Malcolm X and JFK. But what is most evident throughout Carson’s study is the moral courage that sustained King and allowed him to inspire a largely peaceful mass movement against segregation in the face of bloody reprisals.
