A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches -- Martin Luther King

<p>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.</p><p>These prophetic 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.</p><p>These words and others are commemorated here in the only major one-volume collection of this seminal twentieth-century American prophet's writings, speeches, interviews, and autobiographical reflections. <em>A Testament of Hope</em> contains Martin Luther King, Jr.'s essential thoughts on nonviolence, social policy, integration, black nationalism, the ethics of love and hope, and more.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Martin Luther King<br><b>Publisher:</b> HarperOne<br><b>Published:</b> 04/29/2003<br><b>Pages:</b> 736<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 2.25lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.10h x 6.10w x 2.00d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780060646912<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Ebony</i> 01/01/2004 pg. 22<br><i>Christianity Today</i> 06/01/2012 pg. 68<br><i>Christianity Today</i> 04/01/2015 pg. 78
