In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the Charleston Literary Festival (CLF) is making the CLF 2023 session featuring bestselling author of King: A Life, Jonathan Eig, in conversation with Brandon Reid, Public Historian at the International African American Museum, available now to watch on their YouTube channel.
Speaking with Eig, Reid mentions that “embracing the conversation means becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable.” Reid went on to say that Eig’s book made him uncomfortable because it allowed him to see Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “in a new light…as a human being” as the book portrays the totality of King’s life and leans into the story of the man behind the myth-making.
You can watch this thought-provoking conversation here.
