The President, the Pastor, and the Battle over Civil Rights
About the book
Steven Levingston's history follows John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. between 1960 and 1963, showing how each shaped the other: Kennedy's hesitation on civil rights pushed King toward bolder acts, and King moved Kennedy to a moral commitment to equality.
Author Evan Thomas endorsed it as a fascinating study of moral courage in both men.

Evan Thomas (Author)
Moral courage is the subject of this fascinating book. For Martin Luther King Jr. and, especially, for John F. Kennedy the path was rarely simple or straightforward. Steven Levingston has told a gripping, moving, revealing tale.
