This audiobook explores a landmark legal case involving a full-page ad in The New York Times that accused the arrest of Martin Luther King, Jr. of being part of a campaign to undermine his civil rights efforts. L. B. Sullivan, a Montgomery city official, sued for libel, claiming the ad defamed him personally, leading to a significant court ruling. The case highlights issues of free speech, press freedom, and legal standards for libel.
