I am so excited to share the cover for King of the North: Martin Luther King Jr.'s Life of Struggle Outside the South coming out March 25! It charts his long challenge to Northern segregation from grad school onward alongside his political partner Coretta Scott King.

I love this: “saying no saves you time in the future. Saying yes costs you time in the future. No is a form of time credit. You retain the ability to spend your future time however you want. Yes is a form of time debt. You have to pay back your commitment at some point.”

B/R graphic lists what Tom Brady cannot do as on air person because of his NFL ownership stake. Could any other person be a football broadcaster with these kinds of restrictions? How is he supposed to get better at the job? (and he really needs to get better).
