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.
