Daddy King: An Autobiography

Overview

By the time of his son Martin Jr.’s charismatic ministry, Martin Luther King Sr. had himself long been an influential figure in the civil rights movement. As the pastor of Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, Reverend King led voter registration drives in the mid-1930s, championed an 11-year struggle to win equal pay for black teachers, and used his influence to further the well-being of black Atlantans for decades. In Daddy King, he recounts not only his dramatic life story but that of his extraordinary family.
