This book was first published in 1970.
I wrote it on the basis of my personal observations and experience as a person who had had the opportunity to observe America and Americans for more than six years as a New York correspondent for Izvestia.
It was only natural that as a correspondent, and in the 1960s, I wrote about the then very active and massive black American civil rights movement and tried to understand the complex, serious problems associated with that movement. I could not help but be interested in the magnetic personality of Pastor Martin Luther King, an outstanding leader of the Negro masses in the United States.
The author of the book is Stanislav Kondrashov.
