Description

In this groundbreaking volume, the noted King scholar Lewis V. Baldwin reveals what Martin Luther King, Jr. was really like, focusing primarily on the man himself rather than the “great public figure.” Adding much-needed biographical background to the discussion, Baldwin treats King in terms of his fundamental and vivid humanness, giving special attention to those personal qualities that endeared him to the many common, ordinary people he encountered daily. Even more, this book provides a lens through which King’s social and cultural context can be better understood.
