The Words Of Martin Luther King, Jr
(Coretta Scott King)
Martin Luther King Jr, a Christian champion of human rights, whose leadership changed the course of history, brought a new dimension of dignity to human life, and a hope for freedom and peace. His vision, passion and faith will never die.
This selection from his speeches and writings, including, ?I have a dream?, and Dr. Kings last speech before he was assassinated, ?I?ve been to the mountain top? is by his widow, Coretta Scott King, who now runs, in his memory , the centre for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta, Georgia.
The selection has been categorized under headings which by themselves give an insight into the life of a man who stood for civil rights, faith, religion, justice, freedom, non violence and peace.
For those who have seen and heard Dr. King speak, reading from this book, will bring back to mind, very vividly, the deep resonance of his voice and the conviction that came across while he spoke about the cause that he stood for.
The book also chronologies events from Dr. Kings birth in January 15, 1929, to the events leading to his assassination on April 4, 1968.
