Curatorial Commentary
Since Dr. Hamilton's book, part of the Morehouse College King Collection Series on Civil and Human Rights, was released right at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Hamilton has promoted the book almost entirely via virtual lectures and discussions. Some of these recordings may be found in full online, including this 70-minute program with the Prince George's County Memorial Library System (Robert Hamilton on "Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the Poor People’s Campaign of 1968" - YouTube) and this 63-minute Author Talk with the Atlanta History Center (Author Talks | Robert Hamilton - YouTube). -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
