One of the best biographies ever written. However, the book is about more than just King, and that is one of the greatest strengths of Bearing the Cross. Bearing the Cross: Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference
MLK Jr is a real human in this book. Bearing the Cross: Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference - Kindle edition by Garrow, David J.. Download it once and read it on your Kindle device, PC, phones or tablets.
King saw his role in the Movement as not unlike his Call to preach.
For 12 ½ years of his life, he stood in the spotlight of public attention as a leader of The Civil Rights Movement. I have read it twice. I think it is a very good book and clears up many misconceptions about Martin Luther King and many things I did not understand about that period of time. Never before in my life have I read such an outstanding recount of the civil rights movement in America as I have in the pages of David Garrow's "Bearing the Cross: Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference ".
But then turns around and writes an article to completely tear down Dr. King's legacy.

I have had this book for awhile and I must say this is the most detailed version of MLK life that I've read.
BEARING THE CROSS is a very detailed book on the life and times of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., American hero, civil rights activist, preacher and admirer of Ghandi and his nonviolent approach to social change.
King, at first, was a reluctant leader, but at some point, he saw that the Movement was bigger than himself, that the whole Movement was destined to change society. Bearing the Cross is undoubtedly a personal story, and everything within is connected to King in some form be it through his participation, association, support, or opposition. With a title that portrays the religious and spiritual aspect of King’s personal civil rights vision, as well as the exhaustive extent of the undertaking that would take its toll on King both physically and mentally, Garrow too has undertaken quite a task in writing his in depth and fact filled study.
