Takeaways
Description

 Martin Luther King, Jr. was a man of deep faith who never stopped questioning his own understanding of God's world. In this powerful narrative, King gives us a firsthand account of his prophetic mission and the inner struggle that led him through an increasingly radical commitment to justice during one of America's most turbulent decades. This unique volume contains many previously unpublished letters and documents, which illuminate key moments in King's life: from his boyhood encounter with racism and prejudice in small-town Georgia; to his battle for civil rights in Montgomery and Birmingham; to his final years as a revolutionary leader who mobilized hundreds of thousands in peaceful protest against the Vietnam War.
