In the famous photograph of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination,
one man kneels beside him, trying to staunch the blood. He was an
undercover Memphis police officer who had infiltrated the Invaders,
a potentially violent Black activist group then in talks with King.
This spy, the kneeling man, was Leta McCollough Seletzky's father.
Marrell 'Mac' McCollough was a Black man working secretly with the
white power structure. This was so far from Leta's own
understanding of what it meant to be Black in America that she
decided to learn what she could about her father's life-his
motivations, his career with the police and the CIA, and the truth
behind accusations that he was involved in King's murder. What
would Leta uncover, and did she want to know? How might Mac's story
change her own feelings about her place in Trump's America? 'The
Kneeling Man' is a compelling personal and political tale of
alienation and ambivalence; struggle, self-definition and
compromised choices. Set vividly in the sharecropper South, on the
streets of Memphis and in the halls of power, the twists and turns
of this one man's life tell the story of twentieth-century Black
America.
