Edited by one James M. Washington, this lengthy tome collects civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s writings on nonviolence, social policy, integration, black nationalism and more.
"We've got some difficult days ahead," civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr., told a crowd gathered at Memphis's Clayborn Temple on April 3, 1968. "But it really doesn't matter to me now because I've been to the mountaintop... And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land."
These prophetic words, uttered the day before his assassination, challenged those he left behind to see that his "promised land" of racial equality became a reality; a reality to which King devoted the last 12 years of his life.
These words and other are commemorated here in the only major one-volume collection of this seminal twentieth-century American prophet's writings, speeches, interviews and autobiographical reflections.
A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr. contains Martin Luther King, Jr.'s essential thoughts on nonviolence, social policy, integration, black nationalism, the ethics of love and hope, and more.
Editor James M. Washington was, for more than 20 years, a professor of church history at Union Theoloical Seminary in New York City and was considered a leading authority on Martin Luther King, Jr.
