“A fascinating, elegiac account” of the bond between two of the Civil
Rights Era’s most important leaders—from the journalist and author of Strange Fruit (Chicago Tribune).
 
With vision and political savvy, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert
F. Kennedy set the United States on a path toward fulfilling its promise
of liberty and justice for all. In The Promise and the Dream,
Margolick examines their unique bond, both in life and in their tragic
assassinations, just sixty-two days apart in 1968. Through original
interviews, oral histories, FBI files, and previously untapped
contemporaneous accounts, Margolick offers a revealing portrait of these
two men and the mutual assistance, awkwardness, antagonism, and
admiration that existed between them.
 
MLK and RFK cut distinct
but converging paths toward lasting change. Even when they weren’t
interacting directly, they monitored and learned from one another. Their
joint story, a story each man took pains to hide during their lives, is
not just gripping history but a window into the challenges we continue
to face in America.
 
Complemented by award-winning historian
Douglas Brinkley’s foreword and more than eighty revealing photos by the
foremost photojournalists of the period, The Promise and the Dream offers a compelling look at one of the most consequential but misunderstood relationships in our nation’s history.
