I saw Dan Abrams interviewed about the book and was immediately intrigued. Brilliant. Informative. So readable and engaging. Really, a perfect book.

Loved the interview with Dan Abrams and Fred D Gray at the end of the audiobook. Taking Martin Luther King jr to court backfired on the white supremicists big time, uniting Black citizens in their just convictions and elevating King to a national platform he did not previously have.

I really loved the audiobook, especially the interview at the end. Listening to it felt like a very engaging L&O episode, only real.

This book is brilliant! It is challenging, inspiring, retrospective, and hopeful. Alabama v. King explores the beginning of the civil rights movement of the 50s and 60s through legal strategy, courtroom testimonials, and descriptions of local solidarity and perseverance. Reading this, I felt anger and shame at the depth and recency of ubiquitous, legally-mandated race-based segregation in the U.S. I also felt inspired by the power of movement building and solidarity to change the status quo. This book should be required reading for anyone living in the U.S.
