Description

King's most important writings are gathered together in one source. The arrangement is topical: philosophy, sermons and public addresses, essays, interviews and excerpts of his books. The material within each of these categories is arranged chronologically. Included are Dr. King's writings on nonviolence, integration and politics. His famous "I Have a Dream" sermon and "Letter from Birmingham Jail," as well as lesser-known works are contained in this excellent source. The excerpts from his books are full enough and balanced to give a sense of his philosophy and goals. There is a comprehensive introduction which critiques Dr. King's actions and accomplishments and their results. - from Amzon
