I hope to sustain my thesis that King’s life is the best and most important metaphor for American history in the watershed postwar years.”…

He has a cold blooded voice that sends a shiver running down my spine. He begins the meeting with ‘why’. ‘Why did you even think you could have the slightest chance of getting away with it’? Many thoughts flash through my mind as the question ‘why’ is brought up.…
