This compelling biography explores how Martin Luther King Jr. evolved from a young Baptist minister in Montgomery, Alabama, into a national icon of the civil rights movement. Through detailed research and firsthand accounts, Jackson shows how King’s leadership was shaped by the courageous activism of local citizens, from Rosa Parks to E. D. Nixon, who laid the groundwork for the Montgomery bus boycott and the broader struggle for equality.
