This posthumous work brings together the many autobiographical writings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., into a single volume. Drawn from King's vast legacy, including his papers, which reside at Stanford University, it was prepared at the behest of the King family, who selected the esteemed historian Clayborne Carson to select and edit a diverse array of material into a finished work. Drawn from published and unpublished writings, as well as film and tapes, these excerpts tell the story of King's life as he saw it, showing how he shaped his vision of social justice into action that changed America. They include a revealing essay that King wrote as a youth, as well as pieces on his days at Morehouse College, Crozer Theological Seminary, and Boston University, all places where he developed and refined his thinking. King as minister, family man, and public leader is represented as he writes on key events in the struggle for civil rights, including the March on Selma and his famous "Letter from Birmingham Jail Less

Professional Reviews   
  Publishers Weekly: "By the 1980s the once glorious newspaper comics section had become a wasteland, ravaged by shrinking space, editorial timidity and other ills....Bill Watterson...marched directly in the wasteland and made the comatose syndicated strip form kick up its heels and dance....These books offer a testament to Watterson's dedication and to the medium's ability to keep reinventing itself against all odds."

Pros really got to know MLK Jr. well; an enjoyable read; Source Notes in back
Cons a bit of repetition
Recommended it? Yes

Actually, those of us who engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface the hidden tension that is already alive. We bring it out in the open, where it can be seen and dealt with. Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up... Read full review »
