"In hallowing him, we have hollowed him."
This week, journalist and biographer, Jonathan Eig, joins Stephanie and Michael on Nonviolence Radio to talk about his new book, King: A Life. His new biography of Martin Luther King Jr. draws on sources that have only now been recovered (perhaps most notably, transcriptions of conversations recorded by the FBI). Jonathan speaks candidly about how important it is to remember King all his human complexity: his personal doubts and struggles, his admiration for figures he’s often remembered in contrast to (like Malcom X and Stokely Carmichael), and perhaps most importantly, for the depth and force of his moral vision, which, in some real sense, was revolutionary.
