The Promise and the Dream

“A fascinating, elegiac account” of the bond between two of the Civil Rights Era’s most important leaders—from the journalist and author of Strange Fruit ( Chicago Tribune ). With vision and political savvy, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy set the United States on a path toward fulfilling its promise of liberty and justice for all. In The Promise and the Dream , Margolick examines their unique bond, both in life and in their tragic assassinations, just sixty-two days apart in 1968.
