Publisher's summary

This groundbreaking and highly acclaimed work examines the two most influential African American leaders of the twentieth century. While Martin Luther King, Jr., saw America as "essentially a dream . . . as yet unfulfilled," Malcolm X viewed America as a realized nightmare. James Cone cuts through superficial assessments of King and Malcolm as polar opposites to reveal two men whose visions are complementary and moving toward convergence.

Excellent, enlightening read

Great book, and well narrated. I did not know nearly as much about Malcom X as I did MLK, and it was fascinating to see their stories & approaches side by side. I especially enjoyed learning how they moved closer to each others’ positions near the end of their lives,

Reality’s Nightmarish Dreams

Anyone seeking to understand the Civil Rights Movement should read this book to have the severity and clarity of what Black people face then and now in Amerikkka.

Inconsistent audio levels

The narrator, Sean Crisden has what I’d call a smooth baritone voice, great for many genres, but for me it wasn’t a good choice for James H. Cone’s (a theologian) biography of Martin King and Malcolm X, contrasting their ideological visions and their influences upon the civil rights movement.
