Publisher's Synopsis
No two public figures were more crucial in the drama of race relations in the 1960s than Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy. Fifty years after they were both murdered, noted journalist David Margolick explores the untold story of the complex and ever-evolving relationship between these two American icons. Assassinated only sixty-two days apart in 1968, King and Kennedy changed the United States forever, and their deaths profoundly altered the country's trajectory. The Promise and the Dream offers a compelling look at one of the most consequential but misunderstood relationships in our nation's history.
