AD King (Martin Luther King Jr.) Vol. 2

Fighting for civil rights alongside MLK, A.D.* was a fearless activist, pastor, and leader in his own right—marching, organizing, and facing the same dangers as MLK. From surviving a bombing to mysteriously drowning under suspicious circumstances, A.D.’s story is one of courage, tragedy, and the hidden costs of the Civil Rights Movement.

In this episode, we uncover the overlooked legacy of A.D. King, his role in the fight for justice, and why history seems to have forgotten him. Buckle up—this is a story you won’t hear in school.

*The original episode from years ago is on the patreon. It's wilder, filled with conflict, and probably too many MLK impressions.
