Tavis Smiley Writes About MLK's Final Year In "Death Of A King"

WCLK is Atlanta's exclusive home of The Tavis Smiley Show from Public Radio International, heard each Saturday morning from 8a-10a after the WCLK Public Affairs Block.

Tavis has a new book out, written in collaboration with David Ritz, called Death of A King: The Real Story of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Final Year.  This is a work of history and fiction, in which Smiley takes the reader behind the scenes of the tumultuous final year of King's life, when many in the movement began to turn their backs on MLK's anti-war and anti-poverty efforts.

You can purchase Death of A King from Amazon by clicking on the banner below and you will be supporting WCLK at the same time, as a portion of the proceeds will come back to us.
