Where Do We Go from Here

Chaos or Community?

Author: Martin Luther King Jr.   Foreword by: Coretta Scott King   Introduction by: Vincent Harding

The last book written by King his final reflections after a decade of civil rights struggles

Foreword by Coretta Scott King

Introduction by Vincent Harding

In 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., isolated himself from the demands of the civil rights movement, rented a house in Jamaica with no telephone, and labored over his final manuscript. In this prophetic work, which has been unavailable for more than ten years, he lays out his thoughts, plans, and dreams for America’s future, including the need for better jobs, higher wages, decent housing, and quality education. With a universal message of hope that continues to resonate, King demanded an end to global suffering, asserting that humankind-for the first time-has the resources and technology to eradicate poverty.

“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.” —Cornel West, professor of religion and African American studies, Princeton University, and author of Race Matters
