Vividly written and exhaustively researched, Jonathan Eig’s King: A Life is the first major biography in decades of the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.—and the first to include recently declassified FBI files. In this revelatory new portrait of the preacher and activist who shook the world, the bestselling biographer gives us an intimate view of the courageous and often emotionally troubled human being who demanded peaceful protest for his movement but was rarely at peace with himself. Join Jonathan Eig in conversation with Cree Myles, bookfluencer and curator of Penguin Random House's All Ways Black, for an impactful evening examining Dr. King's enduring influence on Milwaukee's Black community. Books will be for sale during and after the event from Rooted MKE book store.
