“My daughter was assigned this book for one of her courses so I wanted to read it. This book is so enlightening. I am so glad I read it. I listened to the audio, but i'm probably going to annotate my daughter's copy when she comes home this summer because it has such great insights in it. I highly recommend everyone reads this book.”

One of the greatest orators in U.S. history, Dr. King is the author of several books, including Where Do We Go From Here (Beacon / 0067-0 / $14.00 pb). His speeches, sermons, and writings are inspirational and timeless classics. Dr. King was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 4, 1968.
Coretta Scott King (1927–2006), the wife of Martin Luther King, Jr., was an American author and human rights activist.
