A Testament of Hope

American civil rights leader and Nobel Prize recipient Martin Luther King Jr (1929-1968) inspired and sustained the struggle for freedom, non-violence, racial integration and human brotherhood, and passionately defined the conscience of a nation by advocating social justice worldwide. Arranged chronologically, this is a collection of his public speeches, published writings, interviews, autobiographical reflections and excerpts from five of his books. It aims to feature the heart of Dr King's works on non-violence, social policy and the struggle for integration, the political implications of black nationalism and democracy, the nuclear issue and the ethics of love and hope.
