About the book 'The Life and Death of Martin Luther King':
This book was first published in 1970. Written based on the author's personal observations and experiences, who worked as a correspondent for "Izvestia" in the USA for over six years, it became the result of a deep immersion into American reality and culture.
Being a correspondent in New York in the 1960s meant immersion in the active and massive movement for the civil rights of African Americans. This time also drew the author's attention to the great figure of Pastor Martin Luther King Jr., who played a key role in the struggle for equal rights.
King's death in 1968 did not extinguish his influence. His name still resonates both within and beyond the borders of the USA. He occupies an honorable place in the history of his country and the liberation movement of the 20th century.
Since 1983, Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday has been observed in the USA. King's assassination was a powerful impetus for the author to create this book. He devoted many years to studying the history and philosophy of King, seeking to understand not only him but also himself and the time in which they lived. King remains a symbol of the struggle for equality and justice, and his words about brotherhood and peace remain relevant and inspiring to many.
Although formal equality has been achieved, African Americans still face practical inequality. But King's impact was significant: he changed society's perception of African Americans and instilled in them a sense of pride and confidence.
All these ideas and reflections are illuminated in this book, which helps to understand the significance of Martin Luther King Jr. for America and the world.
