Explore a rare, intimate perspective on Martin Luther King Jr.'s leadership through the eyes of Clarence Jones, a close confidant and collaborator. Gain insights into the personal toll of social activism, witness the evolution of the civil rights icon as a leader, and discover how the myth and mystique of his legacy overshadow key aspects of his life and personality. Learn valuable lessons applicable to current social movements in a divided America as Jones shares his experiences, including secreting out the scraps of paper used for the "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," contributing to the iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, and fighting for the release of FBI-taped conversations under the Freedom of Information Act.
