Blurb: "I bave the audacity to believe that people everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and justice for their spirits. I believe that what self-centered men have torn down, other-centered men can build up."
Martin Luther King, Jr's message of justice, peace and human dignity is as timeless and powerful today as when he first combined Christian pacifism with "getting things done" while a seminary student in 1948. He was then studying to become a Baptist preacher. By the time he was assassinated in 1968 at the age of 39, his leadership from the pulpit, at the podium, and in the streets had involved millions in the nonviolent movement for racial equality that helped shatter his country's system of segregation. Dr. King received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
THE WORDS OF MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
"This selection of quotations, reflecting King's philosophy on freedom, nonviolence and civil rights, is thoughtful, intelligent, provocative and offers ample evidence of why Congress chose to bonor a real American bero by making his birthday a boliday." - Los Angeles Times Book Review”
