A Call to Conscience: The Landmark Speeches of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by Clayborne Carson, Martin Luther King Jr., Kris Shepard, Andrew Young
4.0
These collections of speeches say a lot about MLK as the masterful orator he was as well as the types of messages he spread. Non-violence is a main theme of every speech he gave. He spoke at great personal risk and ultimately lost his life way too young.
FYI - I read the book like a transcript of the speeches. I can imagine the audiobook gives a totally different vibe and looking up the speeches on YouTube as a companion might be a good idea. I could have done without the frequent audience additions (“yes sir”) but minor quibble.
