A review by veuxmourir
Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr, by Clayborne Carson

5.0

Honestly, I would rate this five stars for "Letter from Birmingham Jail" alone. However, I do feel that people should know that the title of this book is very misleading. The book isn't actually fully written by MLK; though some of the passages are his own writing, most of the book was written by a historian piercing together King's life with his autobiographical snippets. Due to this, the writing was at times awkward and generally lacked King's eloquence. Either way, this is about fucking MLK. Of course it's amazing.
