Martin Luther King, Jr., Companion

These quotations from the civil rights leader and Nobel Peace Prizewinner Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., were selected by his widow, Coretta Scott King. Included are passages from his 1963 I Have A Dream speech, as well as the sadly prescient, I Have Been to the Mountaintop, delivered shortly before his death in 1968. Also included are quotes from his books on a range of topics such as slavery, war, and nonviolence. Clear and majestic, King`s words are powerful in these excerpts. They evoke the times in which they were written, but his message comes through to our time as well. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
