And the Walls Came Tumbling Down is a 1989 autobiography written by civil rights leader Ralph Abernathy.[1] The book charts his life and work with his best friend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in their leadership of the Civil Rights Movement to help African Americans obtain equal rights with white Americans.[1] His book engendered much controversy due to Abernathy's allegations of King's infidelity the night before he was assassinated.
