The trial that introduced MLK to the world

Fred D. Gray was just twenty-four years old when he became the defense lawyer for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a young minister who had become the face of the bus boycott that had rocked Montgomery, Alabama. In this incredible and inspiring history, Gray takes us behind the scenes of that landmark case, including such unforgettable moments as King's courageous response to a bomb threat on his home, the searing testimony that exposed the South's racist systems, and the Supreme Court ruling that brought the courtroom to a halt.

Alabama v. King captures a pivotal time in the fight for equality, from the eyes of the lawyer who Dr. King called “the brilliant young leader who later became the chief counsel for the protest movement."
