At Canaan's Edge: America in the King Years, 1965-68 - Thryft

Final years of MLK's transformative civil rights journey.

If you're looking to dive deep into the pivotal era of the Civil Rights Movement, "At Canaan's Edge" is a profound choice. Taylor Branch's narrative of Martin Luther King's last years not only captures the intensity of his fight for equality and justice but also examines how his ideals and activism expanded beyond border, influencing the fight against the Vietnam war and shaping his complex relationship with political leaders. It's a touching, detailed chronicle for those who cherish historical accuracy intertwined with compelling storytelling.
