As part of the Enoch Pratt Library and OSI-Baltimore’s Talking About Race series, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Taylor Branch spoke about his upcoming book, The King Years: Historic Moments in the Civil Rights Movement. In his new book, he has selected eighteen essential moments from the Civil Rights Movement as presented in his America in the King Years trilogy, and has written new introductions to set each passage in historical context. “For nearly twenty-five years,” says Taylor Branch, “since publication of Parting the Waters, teachers have pressed upon me their need for more accessible ways to immerse students in stories of authentic detail and import… the goal here is to accommodate them and others by careful choice.”
