This story of the King family -- their stormy, God inspired, romantic and often adventurous lives, adapts its title from Mark 3:17 of the Bible, because A. D. and Martin King were fiery preachers. It explores provocative episodes of the civil rights movement, in large part through the remembrances that A. D. King shared with his daughter Alveda. "Sons of Thunder" examines the civil rights movement's triumphs against extraordinary odds and the human flaws and frailties that give texture to this explosive chapter of our history; recasting the story in a fresh, compelling light.

In this New York Times bestselling book, author and conservative icon Dr. Ben Carson lays out a hopeful roadmap for how America can come together. External physical characteristics that are genetically encoded are things over which no individual has control. But rather than appreciating the gift of diversity, some have chosen to use it to drive wedges between groups of people. Some of these external characteristics are associated with the past moral failing of slavery. Though slavery in America formally ended in the 1860s, the vestiges of that evil institution are still with us today, and those vestiges often inflict guilt on some and facilitate feelings of victimhood in others. In Created Equal, Dr. Carson uses his own personal experiences as a member of a racial minority, along with the writings and experiences of others from multiple backgrounds and demographics, to analyze the current state of race relations in America. Instead of using race as an excuse to remake America into something completely antithetical to the Constitution, Dr. Carson suggests ways to enhance and bring great success to our nation and all multiethnic societies by magnifying America's incredible strengths instead of her historical weaknesses.
