The Book MLK Historians Are Learning From

This week on Edge of Sports, we speak to Jeanne Theoharis, author of the groundbreaking new book, King of the North: Martin Luther King Jr.’s Life of Struggle Outside the South. It is a deep dive into the remarkable political work that King accomplished north of the Mason-Dixon Line and in Southern California. Theoharis has uncovered a treasure trove of information that has gobsmacked even serious historians of King’s life and legacy.

Also, I talked to Hoops Savant Arya Shirazi about why we dislike the Celtics so much and why they barely noticed that the Knicks existed—until now.
