About this listen

This groundbreaking and highly acclaimed work examines the two most influential African American leaders of the twentieth century. While Martin Luther King, Jr., saw America as "essentially a dream . . . as yet unfulfilled," Malcolm X viewed America as a realized nightmare. James Cone cuts through superficial assessments of King and Malcolm as polar opposites to reveal two men whose visions are complementary and moving toward convergence.

Thoroughly enjoyed this very insightful read. It fills in gaps in Malcolm X's autobiography and also what is generally known of King. Very interesting to learn about the ways in which they were at odds but also grew to be more aligned over time. What a shame we didn't get to see both men live to further develop their worldviews and approaches to civil rights. Had they both lived and converged into a shared approach to these matters, I have no doubt they would have been a mighty force that America would have no choice but to reckon with.

Excellent overview of their lives and ideas
