Paul Kendrick—Educator, Organizer, and Writer
I am passionate about learning from history and working for equality and opportunity in our time.
My book was chosen as a New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice, an Amazon Book of the Month, an Oprah Magazine “Book to Fall in Love With,” and was recommended by President Obama.
NINE DAYS: The Race to Save Martin Luther King Jr.'s Life and Win the 1960 Election
I appeared on CBS Chicago, CBS News, and MSNBC’s Way Too Early with Kasie Hunt to discuss the relevance of Nine Days to today.
Most recently, you can see me on WGN-TV analyzing political news from June, January, October, and last June, or read my latest op-ed in the Chicago Tribune. You can watch my latest appearance on CNN This Morning here.
Nine Days is available through booksellers like BookShop, Amazon, and Chicago’s Seminary Co-op.
"Compelling . . . No brief review can do full justice to the Kendricks’ masterly and often riveting account of King’s ordeal and the 1960 'October Surprise' that may have altered the course of modern American political history. Suffice it to say that any reader who navigates the many twists and turns and surprises in this complex tale will come away recognizing the power of historical contingency."
