Book Reviews of A Call to Conscience: The Landmark Speeches of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Book Review: Inspiring work
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a series of Martin Luther King's best speeches with an introduction (I think 11 total) and it's a terrific book. More than just a civil rights leader, King also opposes the Vietnam War and praises the leader of newly independent Ghana (formerly a colony of the british empire). The theme King hits is freedom. My only difference with King is that he's ultrareligious and I'm an atheist; perhaps that made me unaable to appreciate some of his Biblical references. Notwithstanding, I highly recommend this book.
Summary of A Call to Conscience: The Landmark Speeches of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Throughout the 1950s and 60s, the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., led the Civil Rights movement, inspiring generations of Americans and transforming the future of the United States. In his speeches, Dr. King expressed his hope that one day all people, regardless of race or nationality, would be accepted. His belief that nonviolent protest is the key to democracy and his assertion that all humans are created equal are as timeless and powerful today as they were 30 years ago. This collection includes the text of Dr. King's best-known oration, "I Have a Dream," his acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize, and "Beyond Vietnam," a compelling argument for ending the ongoing conflict. Each speech has an insightful introduction on the current relevance of Dr. King's words by such renowned defenders of civil rights as Rosa Parks, the Dalai Lama, and Ambassador Andrew Young, among others.Civil Rights & Liberties Books
