Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr by Martin Luther King Jr., Clayborne Carson
4.0
Overall: very relevant to today, powerful.
This autobiography (put together using speeches, letters, and other writings) is a great opportunity to go more in depth with MLK Jr.’s experiences and thoughts. It was interesting to read the day-to-day journey of MLK Jr. and slow down a bit into his mindset and response to different criticisms and circumstances. I didn’t realize how much he also talked about the injustices of poverty. His observations on capitalism, American society, and, of course, race ring so true today. I found his faith in God and his humility inspiring.
