What are the motifs in Bearing the Cross by David Garrow?

Fame is a recurring idea. Fame is a fact that Martin Luther King had to deal with during his career in civil rights. King became a well-known figure in the south during the Montgomery Bus Boycott due to the fact that he was the president of the MIA and was assumed to be the man in charge. After the boycott, King wrote a book that would help spread his name throughout the country. King's fame would continue to soar throughout the rest of his career, growing with each demonstration in which he would take part. King's fame grew with the creation of the SCLC, with his involvement in the Freedom Rides, and finally with the Albany protests. From Albany and beyond, King's fame became worldwide, growing with the bounds of the civil rights movement, with King becoming the best well-known civil rights leader in the country.
