Nine days : the race to save Martin Luther King Jr.'s life and win the 1960 election
Less than three weeks before the 1960 presidential election, Martin Luther King, Jr. was arrested at a sit-in in Atlanta. An earlier, minor traffic ticket served as a pretext for keeping King locked up, and he was transfered to Reidsville, the notorious Georgia state prison where Black inmates worked on chain gangs overseen by violent white guards. An emerging and controversial civil rights leader was languishing behind bars, and the campaigns of John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon raced to decide whether, and how, to respond. The Kendricks show how these events changed the course of one of the closest elections in American history. -- adapted from jacket
