The autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.

A professor of history and the noted author and editor of several books on the civil rights stuggle, Dr. Clayborne Carson was selected by the estate of Martin Luther King, Jr., to edit and publish Dr. King's papers. Drawing upon an unprecedented archive of King's own words- including unpublished letters and diaries, as well as video footage and recordings - Dr. Carson creates an unforgettable self-portrait of Dr. King. In his own vivid, compassionate voice, here is Martin Luther King, Jr. as student, minister, husband, father, and world leader...as well as a rich, moving chronicle of a people and a nation in the face of powerful-and still resonating- change.
