April 4, 1968: Martin Luther King Jr.'s Death and How It Changed America Audiobook

" i give it four stars, because it's well-written and compelling. however, i just don't have the attention span right now to actually finish this wordy book. "

" So far, I'm enjoying his reading of King's rhetoric as largely automortological. I hadn't thought of King's speeches in this way before. "

" April 4, 1968 was a powerful book written by Michael Eric Dyson. After reading this book, I learned more about Martin the man as opposed to the traditional. This book was very detailed and full of good information. "

" I saw this author on CNN's "Black in America" documentary. "

" A chance to learn more about MLK and reflect on his legacy is a welcomed opportunity. "

" an interesting exposure to a part of culture I wasn't greatly familiar with. Touched not only King but Obama, Sharpton, Jackson, etc "

" dyson says he's trying to humanize king. could have fooled me. enough with his personal morality, plz. "

" An in depth look at the death of MLK and the behind the scenes power struggle of the prominent men who took up the struggle for the leadership of the black cause. "

" A very interesting sociological look into the impact MLK Jr's assassination had on black and white America. "

" I liked this a lot even though I wasn't his core audience. "

" I'm currently listening to this on CD. Completely fascinating. I want to go back and listen to his book on the life of MLK. I've read so much on race, interviewed so many black friends, and yet the more I learn, the more I feel I have to learn. "

" I just learned a little more about MLK than just the I Have a Dream speach. "

" Dyson made some interesting points about King's death and it's impact on society, especially African American society. It was not the best book ever, but fairly interesting. The interview at the end was questionable... "
