Description

Dion Graham subtly narrates this audiobook, emulating the majestic cadence of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s, speeches. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff discuss this Golden Voice narrator’s captivating performance. Graham captures the Civil Rights leader’s deep, resonant tone; deliberate ministerial intonation; and, during offstage moments, his world-weariness. Author Jonathan Eig renders King as a great but flawed man, making use of recently released tapes and documents and an unpublished memoir from Dr. King’s father to detail his life. A monumental biography performed exquisitely by a Golden Voice.
