The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, JR. by Clayborne Carson
5.0
A fascinating book and great audio with snip-its from Martin Luther King Jr.'s actual speeches. I liked what it had to say about organizing, definitely some good tips (especially about picking a target and not just protesting generally.)
Like most people, I assume, I am most familiar with MLK's work in the south and was fascinated to learn about his efforts in Chicago. His methods and goals seem to have shifted at that point and I would like to learn more. From my extreme ignorance, it seems to have been less effective and I wonder why.
Especially near the end, I don't always agree with the rhetoric, but I find it interesting hearing where it came from and I feel I probably need to study it more to state a stronger opinion.
Definitely worth listening to this one.
