What an incredible person. Not only for his civil rights leadership, but what an example of a selfless Christian with passion to help others.

Reading this exposed me to a lot of complex emotions that I wasn't really prepared for. The 2024 election is astir and there's multiple genocide across the globe. There have been protests, riots, shooting and every flavor of tragedy you can imagine.
Martin Luther King Jr. had such a profoundly positive hope for the future, especially for the Black community, but specifically for the future of all mankind. In his idyllic future, we would purge ourselves of racism, poverty and war and would find the ground to unify one another with no borders between land, color or religion.
I think he would be disappointed in where we're at.
A quote near the end of the book will likely haunt me for a long time: "We will be marching for these and a dozen other names and attending rallies without end unless there is a significant and profound change in American life and policy...When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered."

Well done considering the limitations for it being an autobiography.

This isn't an actual autobiography...it's the compilation of published and previously unpublished documents, letters, etc. written by King tied together with some interpretive narration by Carson. Fascinating to see this story (that I peripherally lived through as a young person) unfold from King's perspective.
