About this audiobook
On April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated outside of his room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. What happened inside room 306 on the evening of April 3 is the subject of Katori Hall’s The Mountaintop. Hours after King’s final speech, punctuated by his immortal line, “I’ve been to the mountaintop,” the celebrated Reverend forms an unlikely friendship with a motel maid as they talk into the early hours of what will be his final day.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Sometimes we forget that our heroes are also human and don't do everything by the book, but that was rather refreshing to me and to me it makes my heroes show that great things can be done thru even us mortals!
