A great introduction to MLK Jr.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I had never read a biography of Rev. King, so I found this book incredibly enlightening. The author is very passionate about his subject, but what I enjoyed most about the book is that Burns provides a very comprehensive discussion of not only King's nonviolent Civil Rights movement, but also Black Nationalism, the rise of Hippies, the Peace Movement, and other groups vying to spark change. The other element I found incredibly interesting was Burns' thorough depictions of King's religious views and how his beliefs fed and sustained him. As a non-Christian, I never really understood how pervasive Christian theology was in the formation and makeup of the Civil Rights movement. Overall--very well written. I greatly enjoyed reading this book.
A piece of the puzzle

This was a great book, it added to what I knew and add things I didn't to make the story of the movement more complete. You will be greatful for reading this book.
