King, Paperback/Harvard Sitkoff
Momentan nu sunt oferte disponibile.
In this fast-paced biography, Harvard Sitkoff presents a concise, stunningly relevant and radical Martin Luther King , Jr. whose greatest accomplishments may have been yet to come. King 's murder in April 1968 did far more than cut tragically short the life of one of America's most remarkable civil rights leaders. In commemorating King 's achievements at the end of his life and ignoring his defeats, too many Americans quickly relegated the civil rights struggle to the past, halting the progression of the activist's evolving movement. King : Pilgrimage to the Mountaintop honestly assesses his successes along with his failures--as an organizer in Albany, Georgia and St. Augustine, Florida; as a leader of ever more strident activists; and as a husband. Harvard Sitkoff weaves both high and low points together to capture King 's lifelong struggle, through disappointment and epiphany, with his own injunction: Let us be Christian in all our actions. By telling King 's life as one on the verge of reaching its fullest fulfillment, Sitkoff powerfully shows where King 's faith and activism were leading him--to a direct confrontation with a president over an immoral war and with an America blind to its complicity in economic injustice. About author(s): Harvard Sitkoff is a professor of history at the University of New Hampshire and the author or editor of more than eight books, including The Struggle for Black Equality (Hill and Wang, 2008), A New Deal for Blacks , and A History of Our Time .
