Race, rhetoric, and media
Content:
In his final speech Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his support of African American garbage workers on strike in Memphis. It is mainly known for its concluding two minutes, wherein King compares himself to Moses and seems to predict his own assassination. But King gave an hour-long speech, and the concluding segment can only be understood in relation to the whole. Even though King cited and explicated the Bible in hundreds of speeches and sermons, this book is the first to analyse his approach to the Bible and its importance to his rhetoric and persuasiveness.
