The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.

De: Clayborne Carson

Narrado por: LeVar Burton

Written by Martin Luther King, Jr. himself, this astounding autobiography brings to life a remarkable man changed the world —and still inspires the desires, hopes, and dreams of us all.

Martin Luther King: the child and student who rebelled against segregation. The dedicated minister who questioned the depths of his faith and the limits of his wisdom. The loving husband and father who sought to balance his family’s needs with those of a growing, nationwide movement. And to most of us today, the world-famous leader who was fired by a vision of equality for people everywhere.

Relevant and insightful, The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr. offers King’s seldom disclosed views on some of the world’s greatest and most controversial figures: John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Lyndon B. Johnson, Mahatma Gandhi, and Richard Nixon. It paints a moving portrait of a people, a time, and a nation in the face of powerful change. And it shows how Americans from all walks of life can make a difference if they have the courage to hope for a better future.© and (P)1998 Intellectual Properties Management, Inc., All Rights Reserved; ©1998 Time Warner AudioBooks (Packaging Only), A Division of Time Warner Trade Publishing

Chirpy Audio

Good book and informative but the audio is chirpy and skipping in two parts of this recording

Wonderful

This book was very impactful on me. It was special knowing Dr. King wrote down these thoughts and stories. The clips of Dr. King’s speeches are a great touch and put this over the edge in terms of worth and enjoyment.

I never knew MLK was vehemently against the Vietnam and all war really. I found this very telling and fitting of his teachings. This book helps you see Dr. King was much more than the I Have a Dream speech and the civil rights movement.

In my soul

Everyone needs to hear this book. I heard it with my soul and I hope it has taught me to be a better person and a stronger person. MLK was an amazing and beautiful man and Im so glad I got to hear this and hear his powerful message. I don't know that I heard things I didn't know, but I heard it in a different way that touched me deeply. I'm so happy i bought this.

Best choice ever

one of the best audiobooks I have ever read.
A brilliant editing work. mixing in recording of speeches.

A book that makes you want to be there by the side of the good doctor.

fantastic book with some technical issues

fantastic book, loved the narrator and King's speeches bring life to it. only problem is that the audio glitches in about 6-7 places, making you miss out on some things

excellent audio book

I loved this audio book. Lavar Burton reading with live audio from Dr King's speeches and some old negro spirituals make this a classic audio book. Well worth the listen.

Seriously mind blowing

Never knew how awesome this man really was. So inspiring and life changing. This book is not one to miss

In His Own Words

There is so much lit out there on Dr. King that it’s easy to just pick up books from top researchers/scholars to learn about pivotal public events in his life. But this book takes his own writings and crafts a story that gives a deeper look into heart and mind of the most transformational leader of the 20th century. And Levar Burton’s narration was superb.

must hear and or read

Very inspirational and renewing of the struggles of America pass and present. regressing to hear

Get to know the sage Dr. King's words

This isn't going to give you an intimate look at his personal life or his tragic assassination, but you'll be more familiar with his philosophy and purpose for tireless work for human rights. Easy listen and will give you a whole new respect for one of the most conscious figures of our times.
