King, A Life

Peggy and Jonathan Eig, author, talk about his book King, A Life, and what he learned about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., while writing the book. He says King was a person who had a lot of troubles and failures, and was prone to depression, and yet he continued to believe in God and America and believed it was worth all the sacrifice. They also discuss: The recently released pages of FBI files and the impact on the civil rights movement. How King's ethical perspective on work could serve as a counterpoint to today's culture. How journalism has changed—and how that impacts the work of a biographer. jonathaneig.com  (9/2/25 - 935) What You Might Have Missed: Work from Anywhere Empowering Women on the Way to the Top Employment Is Dead IoT, Internet of Things, Peggy Smedley, artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, digital transformation, cybersecurity, 5G, sustainability, future of work, podcast, Jonathan Eig, author, manufacturing This episode is available on all major streaming platforms.
