Summary:
Martin Luther King, Jr.'s account of the first successful large-scale application of nonviolence resistance in America is comprehensive, revelatory, and intimate. King described his book as 'the chronicle of fifty thousand Negroes who took to heart the principles of nonviolence, who learned to fight for their rights with the weapon of love, and who, in the process, acquired a new estimate of their own human worth.' It traces the phenomenal journey of a community, and shows how the 28-year- old Dr. King helped transformed the nation--and the world. PUBLISHER ANNOTATION, c2009.
