eBook by Martin Luther Jr King
eBook Category: History
eBook Description: An unprecedented and timely collection of Dr. King�s speeches on labor rights and economic justice
�
People forget that Dr. King was every bit as committed to economic justice as he was to ending racial segregation. As we struggle with massive unemployment, a staggering racial wealth gap, and the near collapse of our financial system, King�s prophetic writings and speeches underscore King�s relevance for today.
�
Hitting all the civil rights movement highlights�Montgomery, Selma, Memphis, Albany, and Birmingham�award-winning historian Michael Honey traces King�s economic dream, from lectures to unions in the 1960s to addresses during his Poor People�s Campaign, culminating with his momentous �Mountaintop� speech, delivered in support of striking black sanitation workers in Memphis.
�
Gathered in one volume for the first time, the majority of these speeches will be new to most readers. They help us imagine King anew: as a human rights leader whose commitment to economic justice was a crucial part of his civil rights agenda.
