About this listen
This history-making autobiography is Martin Luther King in his own words as read by others and in his own words and voice: the mild-mannered, inquisitive child and student who chafed under and eventually rebelled against segregation; the dedicated young minister who continually questioned the depths of his faith and the limits of his wisdom; the loving husband and father who sought to balance his family's needs with those of a growing, nationwide movement; and the reflective, world-famous leader who was fired by a vision of equality for people everywhere.
In original recordings of his own vivid, compassionate voice, here at last is Martin Luther King, Jr.'s unforgettable chronicle of his life and his legacy. Years in the making, and woven together from thousands of recordings and documents, including letters to his family and diary entries, this program is a unique compilation which includes many rare recordings of Martin Luther King, Jr. delivering sermons, speeches, lectures, and addresses. Highlights include "I Have a Dream," "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," and "The Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech."

The King
Emotional book.
Dr. King demonstrated to the world the true nature of discipleship. He achieved this by advocating for Rights and Justice; Freedom for all. His dedication to the people and the understanding of the cause, broke barriers and unite a nation.
The song continues..."we shall overcome"

So relevant for today
Great narration and what a truly brilliant and unique mind. I decided to read after the murder of George Floyd and the protests that followed, and I'm so happy I did. I learned so much from Martin Luther King Jr and I hope other people can too.
