THE KNEELING MAN My Father's Life as a Black Spy Who Witnessed the Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.

Leta McCollough Seletzky narrates her audiobook about the man who is kneeling beside Martin Luther King, Jr., in the iconic photo of the Civil Rights leader's assassination. He was Seletzky's father, Marrell McCollough, who worked as a spy within the Black activist group called the Invaders. Though her father remained quiet about his experiences, his daughter has unraveled details of his involvement in significant events of the movement. As author and narrator, she captures the complex emotions she felt as she uncovered hidden aspects of Civil Rights history. Most shocking was her discovery that a member of her own family was an eyewitness to some of those events. V.B. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2023]
