À propos de ce contenu audio
A fictional recreation of the turbulence of the 1960s civil rights movement, narrated from alternating perspectives, chronicles the life and times of charismatic African-American leader John Calvin Marshall, from his rise to national prominence to his tragic assassination.

"I believed that if you sincerely and honestly acted for the good, goodness would be the consequence. How little I knew…"
What the author calls "unintended consequences" permeates this searing novel of the heroic and tragic epoch of American history known as the Civil Rights Movement. Julius Lester, a much acclaimed novelist and voracious scholar now in his70s, paints a moving portrait of John Calvin Marshall, a fictionalized version of the great Martin Luther King, Jr.; Marshall’s widow; and his white lover.
As performed by DeMario Clarke in a gentle, grave, confessional tone, Lester takes the listener beyond the strict limits of history and into the interior stirrings of his characters, at once the perpetrators and victims of that ghost-like force known as time.
