Author: Frady, Marshall

As a young journalist in the South in the 1960s, Marshall Frady sat in crowded churches and courtrooms and interviewed civil rights leaders. Now the acclaimed biographer draws on 25 years of award-winning commentary on American race relations to profile the man whose spiritual and political leadership made an indelible mark on history. Frady interweaves the history of the civil rights movement with King's rise to fame and influence, with fascinating insights into factions within the movement, government harassment, and more.
