Anyone with a passing interest in Chicago history should read "American Pharaoh" by Elizabeth Taylor (Not that one) Adam Cohen.
It's about Richard J. Daley, but it goes into great detail about Dr. King's time in Chicago and his treatment here by the powers that be. It's really frustrating and sort of sad about how much work he left unfinished in this city... and everywhere else for that matter.
