MLK's Later Fights, And Legacy (Full Bio)

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jan 15, 2024

[REBROADCAST FROM June 19, 2023] Our June Full Bio selection was King: A Life, the first comprehensive account of Martin Luther King Jr. in three decades, written by Jonathan Eig. On the final day, we discuss King's relationships and disagreements with activist contemporaries, his blind spots, mental health, and the toll of being arrested nearly thirty times. And finally, we look at King's civil rights efforts and priorities in the last months of his life.
