Hampton Sides - Hellhound on His Trail |
Hampton Sides, author of Ghost Soldiers, international best seller, and the basis of documentaries on PBS and The History Channel, as well as the blockbuster Miramax movie, The Great Raid, has an upcoming release expected to be the biggest non-fiction book of the year by the world's largest publisher.
Hellhound on His Trail is the riveting story of James Earl Ray's tracking Martin Luther King, Jr., and the ultimate assassination. Sides has unearthed a wealth of previously unpublished material, much of which centers on Birmingham, including Ray's buying the rifle that killed Dr. King.
Mr. Sides, one of America's best public speakers, will give a short talk in our upstairs auditorium sponsored by The Birmingham Pledge. Admission is free, and copies of the pledge will be available for signing. The Birmingham Pledge has been signed by over 125,000 people on every continent, including such luminaries as President Bill Clinton and Bishop Desmond Tutu.
