About this listen

 Written by Martin Luther King, Jr. himself, this astounding autobiography brings to life a remarkable man changed the world —and still inspires the desires, hopes, and dreams of us all.

Martin Luther King: the child and student who rebelled against segregation. The dedicated minister who 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 to most of us today, the world-famous leader who was fired by a vision of equality for people everywhere.

Relevant and insightful, The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr. offers King’s seldom disclosed views on some of the world’s greatest and most controversial figures: John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Lyndon B. Johnson, Mahatma Gandhi, and Richard Nixon. It paints a moving portrait of a people, a time, and a nation in the face of powerful change. And it shows how Americans from all walks of life can make a difference if they have the courage to hope for a better future.© and (P)1998 Intellectual Properties Management, Inc., All Rights Reserved; ©1998 Time Warner AudioBooks (Packaging Only), A Division of Time Warner Trade Publishing Activists Cultural & Regional Freedom & Security Historical Politics & Activism Politics & Government Biography Martin Luther King Marriage Socialism Equality Civil Rights Social movement Capitalism

Martin Luther King had the courage and humanity of a giant amongst men! His commitment to equality between blacks and whites has surely been unequalled. This book allows an amazing insight into this amazing man’s deepest feelings and convictions. It is rare to listen to such words of strength and determination! He was utterly committed to non violent protest. He had many successes but the fight goes on.

We need more leaders like this!
