A private citizen who transformed the world around him, Martin Luther King, Jr., was arguably the greatest American who ever lived.

In this groundbreaking examination of the man and his legacy, provocative author, lecturer, and professor Michael Eric Dyson restores King's true vitality and complexity and challenges us to embrace the very contradictions that make King relevant in today's world.
