Synopsis
When harlem nearly killed king tells of how, in 1958. Martin Luther King Jr. was stabbed by an emotionally disturbed black woman in Harlem and then saved at Harlem Hospital, where the head of surgery was an acclaimed African American. In Pearson's hands the life-threatening episode becomes, in a sense, a mortal danger to the very soul of a nation just beginning to struggle in earnest with the knowledge that many of the ideas of racial equality were still only that -- ideas, symbols, not facts of life. Here Pearson skillfully recreates America at the dawn of the civil rights movement and shows us how change really occurs: painfully, not in one grand gesture, but in a thousand small and contradictory ways. Book jacket., When Harlem Nearly Killed King spins the tale of a little-known episode in the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. how, in 1958, King was stabbed by a deranged black woman in Harlem, and then saved by Harlem Hospital's most acclaimed African-American surgeon, using a little known and difficult procedure. Pearson recreates America at the dawn of the civil rights movement, and in so doing probes and examines the living body politic of the nation, black and white, and shows us how change really occurs- painfully, not in one grand gesture, but in a thousand small and contradictory ways. As the story of When Harlem Nearly Killed King unfolds, it offers up surprising truths- how Harlem's leading black bookseller was snubbed by King and his entourage in favor of a Jewish-owned department store; and how the acclaimed surgeon seems not to have been the doctor responsible for the surgery. As truths and apocrypha clash in these pages, what emerges is a powerful picture of change in race perspectives in America, and how such change really occurs - reminding us today that race in America is still unfinished business., When Harlem Nearly Killed King spins the tale of a little-known episode in the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. how, in 1958, King was stabbed by a deranged black woman in Harlem, and then saved by Harlem Hospital's most acclaimed African-American surgeon, using a little known and difficult procedure.

He,recreates America at the dawn of the civil rights,movement, and in doing so probes and examines the,living body politic of the nation, both black and,white, and shows us how change really occurs: not,in one grand gesture, but in a thousand small and,contradictory ways. As truths and apocrypha clash,in these pages, what emerges is a powerful picture,of change in race perspective in America.
