Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would be 83 years old today, had he lived. The national holiday to celebrate his birth is on Monday.
There are several Kindle books that will acquaint younger people with King, as well as produce memories in those of us who remember him.
Dr. King did not write an autobiography, per se, but Stanford University historian Clayborne Carson compiled vast information and edited The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.
"The autobiography delves, for example, into the philosophical training King received at Morehouse College, Crozer Theological Seminary, and Boston University, where he consolidated the teachings of Afro-American theologian Benjamin Mays with the philosophies of Locke, Rousseau, Gandhi, and Thoreau," Amazon.com says.
