Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Gathering in Community

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s reflections on the civil rights struggle and the power of nonviolent action taken together in community. Part of Dr. King’s archives published exclusively by HarperCollins.

Martin Luther King Jr On Gathering in Community presents both hard won wisdom and practical advice to aid us in the continued struggle for civil rights in America and worldwide. Here, Dr. King reflects on progress made and the work still to be done within the fight for Black freedom, providing inspiration, direction, and strategy. These words are a poetic call to courage we can use as the struggle continues; courage needed as urgently today as it was when the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. wrote them.

Rich in quotes that have already stood the test of time, Martin Luther King Jr On Gathering in Community demonstrates that the solution to both internal tensions within the movement and external resistance to racial justice is the same: find a shared vision and work together to achieve it. He emphasizes the importance of driving change, offers guidance on wielding rage constructively, and calls for a commitment to justice, peace, and humanity.

With a universal message of hope that continues to resonate, King’s words will inspire readers to contribute to social change by joining with one another in community.
