The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr by Martin Luther King Jr., Clayborne Carson

4.0

Note that this wasn't written by MLK himself, but rather a group of people by going through his notes and speeches. Remarkably, what emerges is pretty coherent - by forming chapters around topics (e.g. a long one on Black Power) it flows almost as well as other autobiographies. However it does feel somewhat too neutral at times - not as personal or one-on-one as it presumably would have been had MLK written it. They also quote at length from his speeches which is actually a positive because he speaks so well!
Overall, I learned a lot from this and would definitely recommend it to anyone who doesn't know as much about MLK as they'd like to
