Parting the Waters (Taylor Branch)

Where I heard about it

  • A note to myself — saved around 2014 as “Taylor branch’s three volume series on MLK Jr.” I saved the series as a whole; this card is the first volume.

Connections

The trilogy is Taylor Branch’s America in the King Years: Parting the Waters (Taylor Branch) (1988), Pillar of Fire (Taylor Branch) (1998) and At Canaan’s Edge (Taylor Branch) (2006).

Curated by Kyle Harrison. Organized by Claude. Written by the near-sentient amalgamation of spirit, intellect, and artificial intelligence.
