Martin Luther King Jr. was a brilliant man. This is not a quick read by any means, but you owe it to yourself to check it out. I wish good people could stick around for a while (instead of being snuffed out by evil), they could actually change the world. Just as a side note, I'm a white man, but I have the utmost respect for Martin Luther King Jr. and he is one of my favorite historical figures.

Yesterday, the 40th anniversary of MLK's assassination, I spent the better part of the day thumbing through A Testment of Hope. The book is an old friend of mine. I've read and reread it for nearly twenty years now, both privately and with students in at least a dozen classes.
What I like so much about editor James Washington's collection is its comprehensiveness. In a single volume, one finds MLK's thoughts on nonviolence, civil rights and integration, the Vietnam War and poverty, Christianity and social responsibility, and justice and morality. His ideas are conveyed here through essays, sermons, interviews, and lengthy, meaty excerpts from his five books. Everything that one could want is here, including what I personally take to be his very best work: "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" (1963), "Love, Law, and Civil Disobedience" (1961), "A Christmas Sermon on Peace" (1967), "A Time to Break Silence" (1967), the "I Have a Dream" speech (1961), and Stride Toward Freedom's masterful discussion of the tactics and principles of nonviolence (1958).
Today, four decades after his death, the country is still struggling to grow into MLK's vision of reconciliation and nonviolence. One can only imagine how sad he would be at the post-9/11 turn toward militarism the nation has taken, the current wave of sentiment against Latino immigrants, the constant economic disparity between white households and African American ones, or the upswing in hate crimes against Muslims. In re-reading A Testament of Hope, I was reminded yet again of how very much we need a present-day prophet of King's caliber, vision, and courage, and of how very grateful I am that we once had King himself.Read more ›

Super powerful speeches. They do get repetitive if you read straight through, but man this is inspiring reading. Gave me even more respect for Dr King and his legacy of peace, love and hope!

All the reviews before me say it all. This is a treasure book. A second Bible, a testimony to the power of God and His love for us. Interesting enough for the lay man and for the scholar. Deep enough to make you ponder the relevant issues of life and to find best choices. A real example of what can be done and how. A book that should live forever.
