“King had to overcome White House mistrust, disregard, and stonewalling before his message sank in. As he observed: “It’s a difficult thing to teach a president.”
Steven Levingston, Kennedy and King: The President, the Pastor, and the Battle over Civil Rights

“You have a temperament,” he told her, “that finds pleasure in a labyrinth of intrigue. Be careful—because you will be a victim again and again.”
Steven Levingston, Little Demon in the City of Light: A True Story of Murder and Mesmerism in Belle Epoque Paris

“THE PROTESTS CHANGED national sentiment. Before Birmingham, only 4 percent of Americans polled believed civil rights was the country’s most urgent issue; after Birmingham, that figure jumped to 52 percent.”
Steven Levingston, Kennedy and King: The President, the Pastor, and the Battle over Civil Rights
