Book Reviews of A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Book Review: What do I do now King?
Summary: 5 Stars
I am white, my wife is black, my daughter is yellow-red, and your president is red-yellow, the God in me is probably brown but his light is white,
Martin I am white you are black. I am a Lutheran by birth just like you, and born by fire and water just like you. What do we do now? We are still longing for rightousness where everybody will be full in heart and happy in life, I have a dream,,, Jesus when will thy Kingdom come?
Rich businesses are good for the American economy and labour market but today the King would probably have wanted schools for the poor less tuitions more government spending, health care for the poor and not only for the insured and strong Unions negotiating the salaries for the blacks working hard with difficulties in keeping the months balanced. I wanted King to speak more about stronger Unions working for the blacks low salaries. Well see what the new president can pull off...

Summary of A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr.
"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.
