Letter from the Birmingham Jail is a historic open letter by civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. that defends nonviolence and addresses the moral urgency of ending racial segregation in the United States.

Illustrated edition of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s landmark 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech, featuring the full text and artwork that capture the vision of racial equality and non‑violence he delivered at the Lincoln Memorial.

A curated collection of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s most influential speeches, accompanied by introductions from prominent leaders and a brief historical context.

This book concludes a 3-volume history of American race, violence, and democracy. As the book begins, King and his movement are one decade into an epic struggle for the promises of democracy. The quest to cross Selma's Edmund Pettus Bridge on March 7, 1965 engages the conscience of the world, strains the civil rights coalition, and embroils King with the U.S. government. After Selma, freedom workers are murdered, but sharecroppers learn to read, dare to vote, and build their own political party, while Stokely Carmichael leaves the movement in frustration to proclaim his famous Black Power doctrine. King takes nonviolence into Northern urban ghettoes, exposing hatreds and fears no less virulent than those in the South. We watch King bring all his eloquence into dissent from the Vietnam War, and make an embattled decision to concentrate on poverty; we reach Memphis, the garbage workers' strike, and King's assassination. - Publisher.
