Description: |
|
Acclaimed public intellectual and best-selling author Michael Eric Dyson
uses the fortieth anniversary of King’s assassination as the occasion
for a provocative and fresh examination of how King fought, and faced,
his own death, and we should use his death and legacy. Dyson also uses
this landmark anniversary as the starting point for a comprehensive
reevaluation of the fate of Black America over the four decades that
followed King’s death. Dyson ambitiously investigates the ways in which
African-Americans have in fact made it to the Promised Land of which
King spoke, while shining a bright light on the ways in which the nation
has faltered in the quest for racial justice. He also probes the virtues
and flaws of charismatic black leadership that has followed in King’s
wake, from Jesse Jackson to Barack Obama. |
