A review by purplegrape
The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, JR. by Clayborne Carson

dark hopeful informative inspiring reflective tense fast-paced

2.75

Unfortunately not on the same level as Malcolm X's autobiography. I learned a bit but not much it seems. Malcolm X's autobiography was more personal (as to be expected seeing as MLK Jr. was a private person) which I preferred.

I started this audiobook bc I wanted something to listen to on my way home from Jean's house (I think). Actually I think it was on my way home from Tower 5040 (definitely now that I think about it). It filled the time and I finished it while working on my internship (I've been writing functions to access Perplexity responses), but I don't think I will remember anything by tomorrow. 

It just doesn't stand up to the other incredible autobiographies/memoirs I've read as of late. It is a good thing I listened to it as an audiobook as I guarantee I would have DNFed it had I been reading a physical copy.
