It invites you to see no stranger but instead look at others and say: you are part of me I do not yet know.

The Martin Luther King Jr. of popular memory vanquished Jim Crow in the South.

Es erzählt die Geschichte von Menschen, die vor moralischer Ambition nur so strotzten: Abolitionisten, Suffragetten, Helden des Widerstands und Bürgerrechtlerinnen, von Menschen, die nicht nur Ideale hatten, sondern ihre Karrieren auch nach diesen Idealen ausrichteten – und den Lauf der Welt veränderten.

Un saggio preciso, avvincente, che restituisce l'entusiasmo di una stagione del Novecento ormai entrata nel mito. Episodi della lotta per i diritti civili degli afroamericani si alternano al racconto delle vite di pensatori, di attivisti fin qui noti solo agli esperti, che hanno preceduto Malcom X e Martin Luther King, consentendo loro di diventare ciò che sono stati. L'avventura umana di questi due giganti - spesso diversi, talvolta affini - che hanno dato la vita per cambiare il mondo permette cosí di gettare una luce su un pezzo della storia recente.
