Illuminates Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Pan-Africanism, exploring his relationships with Africa and its leaders in their fight against colonialism and Apartheid. Examines King's engagement with African counterparts to reframe his legacy through a Pan-African lens, revealing a visionary who fought for racial justice on two continents.

This groundbreaking work unveils a lesser-known facet of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s legacy: his Pan-African vision and relationships. Through meticulous research and compelling narratives, Jeremy I. Levitt unveils King as a truly international figure. Levitt bridges American and African history, politics and law to provide a fresh perspective on iconic global figure, exploring King's often-ignored relationship with African leaders and his role in shaping anti-colonial and anti-apartheid movements in Africa. The book offers new insights for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the interconnected history of human rights struggles across the African diaspora. By illuminating King's Pan-African engagements, Beyond Borders provides a more complete understanding of his enduring legacy as a champion for global racial equality.
