Presents the last book written by King—his final reflections after a decade of civil rights struggles. “[King’s] unique ability to connect the life of the mind to the struggle for freedom is legendary, and in this book—his last grand expression of his vision—he put forward his most prophetic challenge to powers that be and his most progressive program for the wretched of the earth.” —Cornel West
The celebrated civil rights leader outlines the trends in the African American struggle during the sixties, and pleads for peaceful coexistence between the African American and white communities.
This reprint, first published in 1968, consists of the final manuscript written by Martin Luther King, Jr., which discusses race relations in the US and the state of the movement after a decade of civil rights efforts. He details dreams for America's future, such as the need for better jobs, higher wages, decent housing, and quality education, and how both whites and blacks are responsible for change. He addresses the cause of national discord in white racism, and focuses on discrimination and poverty, including the role of poverty in world instability. He also discusses Black Power.

In 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., isolated himself from the demands of the civil rights movement, rented a house in Jamaica with no telephone, and labored over his final manuscript. In this significantly prophetic work, which has been unavailable for more than ten years, we find King's acute analysis of American race relations and the state of the movement after a decade of civil rights efforts. Here he lays out his thoughts, plans, and dreams for America's future, including the need for better jobs, higher wages, decent housing, and quality education. With a universal message of hope that continues to resonate, King demanded an end to global suffering, powerfully asserting that humankind-for the first time-has the resources and technology to eradicate poverty.
