Stephen Matlock’s Reviews > Bearing the Cross: Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference > Status Update

This is a beautiful book. It is careful about the details and careful about the presentation. This, along with "The Seminarian," help to present Dr. King as a man who had to grow into his existence. Maybe by the end he was starting to become boxed in by the definitions of others--and he struggled to continually break free and to present his thoughts honestly and well. But this is the story of a man who lived.
