    • The Life, Work & Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Part 1

      The Life, Work & Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Part 1
      Jan 26 2026

      In this episode of US History Repeated, we’ve traced the early life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.—from the influences that shaped him, to the emergence of his leadership, and through the pivotal campaigns that helped bring about the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. These victories are often remembered as moments of triumph, but they were also the beginning of a far more complicated chapter in King’s life and in the nation’s story.

      There was a lot to cover and we decided to break this one into two parts.

      In Part Two, we’ll step into that complexity. We’ll explore how the public perception of King changed as his message grew more challenging, why his outspoken opposition to the Vietnam War cost him political allies, and how his vision expanded to include economic justice through the Poor People’s Campaign. We’ll also confront the final days of his life and his assassination.

      Our thanks to historian and Pulitzer Prize–winning author David Garrow for helping us bring depth, nuance, and historical clarity to this conversation. If today’s episode showed how Dr. King rose to national prominence, the next will ask what it cost him—and what his unfinished work still asks of us.

      David J. Garrow is a distinguished historian and Pulitzer Prize–winning author best known for Bearing the Cross: Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, a landmark biography that remains one of the most authoritative studies of Dr. King and the modern Civil Rights Movement.
