Historian Taylor Branch: The Civil Rights Movement And American Democracy

On this Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, we’d like to present an encore broadcast of a conversation with renowned historian Taylor Branch that first aired two years ago.

His Pulitzer Prize winning book, “Parting the Waters” was the first in a trilogy chronicling the life of Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement, that also included the titles, “Pillar of Fire” and “At Canaan’s Edge.”
