On this episode of CounterPunch Radio, Erik Wallenberg talks to Jeanne Theoharis about her new book, “King of the North: Martin Luther King Jr.’s Life of Struggle Outside the South,” in which Theoharis argues that King’s time in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago—outside Dixie—was at the heart of his campaign for racial justice.
Jeanne Theoharis is the author or co-author of thirteen books on the civil rights and Black Power movements and the contemporary politics of race in the US. Her biography, “The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks” won a 2014 NAACP Image Award & the Letitia Woods Brown Award from the Association of Black Women Historians.
