Cover To Cover…‘Death of a King’

Your heroes are larger than life.
They’re always tall, strong, and wise. No one can best them or outdo them, and no one can touch them in the good they do. Whether they’re cape-wearing, donning a dress, or suited, you want to be just like them.
And you are, more than you realize. Your heroes are only human, after all, and in the new book “Death of a King” by Tavis Smiley (with David Ritz), you’ll read about one of them.
On April 4, 1967, Martin Luther King Jr. (known to his friends as “Doc”) had his mind made up. Despite urgings from many in his inner circle, he was determined to go head-to-head with Lyndon Johnson—arguably the most powerful man in the world—against the Vietnam War. They’d had this conversation before, Doc and LBJ, but Doc was “about to dramatically turn up the volume.”
It pained him, however, that his own people were attacking him.
