An Act of State

"An Act of State" delves into the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., illustrating his role as a fervent advocate for the oppressed in America during the 1960s. Following his assassination in 1968, the conviction of James Earl Ray has been questioned, prompting William Pepper to embark on a 25-year pursuit for justice. The audiobook details a civil trial in 1999 where testimony from 70 witnesses revealed a conspiracy involving government agents and contradicted Ray's guilt. This compelling account exposes the optimism surrounding King's vision and the tragic events that ultimately silenced him.
