ISBN10: 1583226141, ISBN13: 9781583226148, [publisher: Seven Stories Press,U.S., New York] Softcover Paperback. When Harlem Nearly Killed King spins the tale of a little-known episode in the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. how, in 1958, King was stabbed by a deranged black woman in Harlem, and then saved by Harlem Hospital's most acclaimed African-American surgeon, using a little known and difficult procedure.Pearson recreates America at the dawn of the civil rights movement, and in so doing probes and examines the living body politic of the nation, black and white, and shows us how change really occurs- painfully, not in one grand gesture, but in a thousand small and contradictory ways.As the story of When Harlem Nearly Killed King unfolds, it offers up surprising truths- how Harlem's leading black bookseller was snubbed by King and his entourage in favor of a Jewish-owned department store; and how the acclaimed surgeon seems not to have been the doctor responsible for the surgery. As truths and apocrypha clash in these pages, what emerges is a powerful picture of change in race perspectives in America, and how such change really occurs - reminding us today that race in America is still unfinished business. A former editorial page writer at the "Wall Street Journal" recaptures the violent instant in which the civil rights movement was nearly derailed.
