King: Pilgrimage to the Mountaintop
Product Description
King: Pilgrimage to the Mountaintop
In this fast-paced biography, Harvard Sitkoff presents a stunningly relevant and radical King. Honestly assessing his successes alongside his failures, King: Pilgrimage to the Mountaintop weaves together high and low points to capture King's lifelong struggle, through disappointment and epiphany, with his own injunction: "Let us be Christian in all our actions." By telling King's life as one on the verge of reaching its fulfillment, Sitkoff powerfully shows where King's faith and activism were leading himۥto a direct confrontation with a president over an immoral war and with an America blind to its complicity in economic injustice.
