Book Overview
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 prohetic 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 twelve 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 contains Martin Luther King, Jr.'s essential thoughts on nonviolence, social policy, integration, black nationalism, the ethics of love and hope, and more.--Marianne Williamson, author of Return to Love

Every American should read this book
Derived From Web , Jun 2, 2022
At a time when national leadership is scarce, trust is shallow, and American liberties are threatened by our own government, Dr. King's words call for our active and essential advancement of freedom and goodness. Read each entry and when the spirit moves you read aloud your favorite passages.

Essential reading for human rights advocates
Derived From Web , Jun 2, 2022
I learned more about Dr. King and his philosophies by reading his actual words than I could have learned by reading a history or biography. I was surprised to learn that Dr. King's journey was long even before the Civil Rights Movement, that he studied many schools of philosophical and religious thought. I was deeply impressed by his gifts with language, the ability to express ideas in ways that anyone can understand and inspire. So much of what King said isn 't limited to the movements of 50 years ago, but rather relates to the ongoing struggle for human dignity and equality.

An Indispensible Collection
Derived From Web , Jun 2, 2022
He was a pastor, theologian, philosopher, diplomat, husband and father. This book brings the reader into MLK Jr's very human life. Nowhere have I discovered a more different explanation for passive resistance than in the cogent speeches and essays contained in this book. If you are engaged in the fight for civil rights, or if you want to understand modern humanity more fully, add this book to your library and consult it often. Erik PAX is a fellow PAX - Erik.

A great anthology of a great man's writings.
Derived From Web , Jul 21, 2021
In this age of chaos, it is good to go back and read the writings of a great man who knew that love wins over injustice. Too many people have forgotten the truth about God, or have chosen to ignore it. Today we are savoring a bitter harvest. This book reminds us of a better way to erasure injustice.
