The year 1963 marked a pivotal turning point in U.S. history, and this audiobook captures its drama and significance in vivid detail. Author and narrator Peniel E. Joseph guides listeners through the era's defining moments and people, including Martin Luther King, Jr., James Baldwin, and Malcolm X; the March on Washington and the assassinations of Medgar Evers and John F. Kennedy. Joseph's steady, expressive delivery seamlessly shifts from outrage to admiration, mirroring the emotional intensity of the period. He highlights the iconic figures of the Civil Rights Movement, as well as those working behind the scenes, weaving their contributions into the larger story. The result is a deeply engaging account that should be essential listening for anyone interested in America's civil rights history. D.J.S. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2025]
