A captivating and meticulously researched biography, Jonathan Eigs' King offers a fresh perspective on the life and legacy of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. This groundbreaking work is the first major biography in decades to include recently declassified FBI files, providing a comprehensive account of the man who shook the world through peaceful protest.
Through vivid storytelling, Eigs delves into the intimate details of King's life, revealing the courageous and often emotionally troubled human being who demanded justice for his movement. He explores the King family's origins, shedding light on the complex relationships between King, his wife, father, and fellow activists. King unveils a minister grappling with his own human frailties and dark moods, a citizen hunted by his own government, and a man determined to fight for justice, even at the cost of his own life.
The biography follows King from his early years in the classroom to the pulpit, from the streets of Birmingham to Selma and Memphis. Eig vividly re-creates the journey of a man who recast American race relations and became its only modern-day founding father. He also highlights King's role as the nation's most mourned martyr, whose demands for racial and economic justice remain as urgent today as they were during his lifetime.
In King, Eigs presents a contemporary MLK: a deep thinker, a brilliant strategist, and a committed radical who led one of history's greatest movements. His unwavering commitment to social justice and his ability to inspire and mobilize people continue to resonate with audiences worldwide. This landmark biography not only sheds light on the life and achievements of King but also serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for equality and justice in our society.
