About this listen

 The last book written by King his final reflections after a decade of civil rights struggles

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.

Critic Reviews

“Martin Luther King, Jr., was one of the greatest organic intellectuals in American history. His 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, Professor of the Practice of Public Philosophy at Harvard University and author of Race Matters

Super interesting and a product of his time. Before reading this I thought MLK was fairly moderate, but he really was quite a radical in his time on some topics (social issues), and a radical in our time on others (economic issues). I give him a pass on that given there was no way to know the horrors that socialism was inflicting in the world at the time. I would hope that he would have updated his views with more information but i'm not sure he would have. It often falls into sermon style writing without much substance, but it's read beautifully, so you at least get to hear it as a sermon. A must listen.
