I felt like I was actually there with him

When I first began to read the first chapter of this book I was looking at the dates in the book and realized that they were from not that long ago it was recent that this happened. I felt sorr for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr when he had to repeat school because of his lack of knowledge. The parts that struck cords with me is that he was playing a major role in history and he could not be with his wife and cherish the moments of their child being born because he was always doing something with the civil roght movement. He wasw never at home to be with his kids and when he did come home it was not that much. He also was put in jail a lot for things that he felt was right and there were a lot of people who were trying to hold him down from doing his job. But this is a really great book and I encourage anyone to read it to see what we had to go through just to ride on the bus and to vote amd to get our right we were denied after slavery was abolished. But this is a really good book for a person to read if they are doing a report on him.

V.P. Franklin looks deep.

Franklin looks deep into the life of the late Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. His insightful looks on the full compass of his life makes for an extraordinary piece of work. Never before mentions of different aspects of King's life makes this biography a must read for all who have loved and adored King.
