- The first book-length treatment (98,000 words) of Martin Luther King’s 1967 visit to Newcastle set in the triple intersecting contexts of three centuries of neglected transatlantic links between the North East and the African American freedom struggle; the wider story of race relations, social justice campaigns, and radical politics in the region and UK; histories of public memory and commemoration. The book is the culmination of many years of archival research in the US and UK and also depended on the author tracking down previously lost historic materials, including a hitherto unknown King speech.
