商品簡介
From journalist and author Steven Levingston, a gripping,
detailed account of the contentious relationship between President John
F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. during the tumultuous early years
of the Civil Rights movement.
Kennedy and King traces
the emergence of two of the twentieth century's greatest leaders, their
powerful impact on each other and on the shape of the civil rights
battle between 1960 and 1963. These two men from starkly different
worlds profoundly influenced each other's personal development.
Kennedy's hesitation on civil rights spurred King to greater acts of
courage, and King inspired Kennedy to finally make a moral commitment to
equality. As America still grapples with the legacy of slavery and the
persistence of discrimination, Kennedy and King is a vital, vivid
contribution to the literature of the Civil Rights Movement.
