Martin Luther King Jr.
Fairclough provides a concise chronicle of the intellectual, social, and political evolution of Martin Luther King Jr. Rather than concentrating on the previously documented details of King's life and times, the author prefers to highlight the fascinating ideological growth of his subject. King's formative years, his ascension into power and prominence as the leader of the civil rights movement, and his major protests and campaigns are all analyzed in terms of his maturing philosophical development. Publication of this digestible biography is timed to coincide with Black History Month. Recommended as an accessible introduction to the man and his mind.Margaret Flanagan--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
