Description
A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up to speed on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or yet to be discovered.
Today, a man born Michael King, Jr. is one of the most famous Americans in history. His name was changed at the age of five to one the world fondly remembers: Martin Luther King, Jr. The life and legend of Dr. King have been told to every American, many of whom come away equating King with the Civil Rights Movement as a whole. But King's life was about far more than leading movements and having dreams.
American Legends: The Life of Martin Luther King Jr. humanizes the leader who constantly sought to better himself and desperately wanted to follow in the footsteps of the man he was named after. It celebrates his incredible accomplishments and analyzes his perceived shortcomings. Along the way, you'll learn things about Dr. King you never knew, including a bitterly contested court case over some of his papers and the off-the-cuff origins of his "I Have a Dream" speech.
Learn about Dr. King in no time, like you never have before.
