MLK’s Amazing 1964 Interview with Robert Penn Warren

This week’s recommendation is shared by Ellen Long.

In this article from The Atlantic, author Garance Franke-Ruta takes excerpts from a conversation/interview with Dr. King. As she notes, "In this interview, we get a glimpse of King not just as an orator preaching on behalf of civil rights and a more just society, but as a psychological observer, political tactician, and social-change strategist grappling with a wide array of opponents and personal threats with extraordinary clarity and sympathy."
