“Martin Luther King, Jr., was one of the greatest organic intellectuals in American history. His unique ability to connect the life of the mind to the struggle for freedom is legendary, and in this book – his last grand expression of his vision – he put forward his most prophetic challenge to powers that be and his most progressive program for the wretched of the earth.”

—Tom Bissell, MD, author of The Father of All Things
