<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Martin Luther King Jr. was a cautious nineteen-year-old rookie preacher when he left Atlanta, Georgia, to attend divinity school up north. At Crozer Theological Seminary, King, or "ML" back then, immediately found himself surrounded by a white staff and white professors. Even his dorm room had once been used by wounded Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. Young ML was a prankster and a late-night, chain-smoking pool player who fell in love with a white woman while facing discrimination from locals. In class, ML performed well, though he demonstrated a habit of plagiarizing that continued throughout his academic career. In his three years at Crozer, King delivered dozens of sermons around the Philadelphia area, had a gun pointed at him (twice) and eventually became student body president. These experiences shaped him into a man ready to take on even greater challenges. <i>The Seminarian</i> is the first definitive, full-length account of King's years as a divinity student. Long passed over by biographers and historians, this period in King's life is vital to understanding the historical figure he soon became.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Patrick Parr</b> has written about Dr. King for magazines and newspapers such as <i>Seattle Magazine</i> and the <i>Japan Times</i>. <b>David Garrow</b> is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the King biography <i>Bearing the Cross </i>and <i>Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama</i>.
