April 4, 1968

Description:

The murder of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968 cut short a life of great achievement and much promise. Public intellectual Michael Eric Dyson considers the history of America forty years hence, as he examines King?s legacy with a focus on both the past and the present day. Dyson presents a sometimes provocative reading of King in his life, dispelling what he sees as the many myths that have developed. He considers other Black leaders who have followed in King?s footsteps. And, as he evaluates the nation?s progress toward social justice and the realization of the American dream for all Americans, Dyson finds much to praise yet much that still needs to be accomplished.
