The Martin Luther King that history has tried to make comfortable.

Vincent Harding was a close friend and colleague of Martin Luther King, Jr.—and in this collection of essays, he reflects on what King actually stood for, and what gets lost when his legacy is softened into something easier to accept.

Harding’s King is not a monument. He is a man who challenged war, poverty, and systemic injustice with a clarity that made him dangerous—and that remains as relevant as ever.

For those who want to know King more fully, this is an honest and necessary companion.
