About This Item
New York: Newmarket Press, 1987. First edition, early printing of this classic collection of the words of Dr. King. Octavo, original cloth, illustrated. Presentation copy, inscribed by John Lewis and Coretta Scott King on the front free endpaper, "For John Schreiber, Thank you very much. John Lewis" and signed below "With appreciation Coretta Scott King." Fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. Selected by Coretta Scott King. Uncommon signed by both of these Civil Rights icons. Created as a living memorial to the philosophies and ideas of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., this essential volume includes more than 120 quotations from the greatest civil rights leader's speeches, sermons, and writings. Selected and introduced by Coretta Scott King, The Words of Martin Luther King, Jr. helps keep the dream alive by focusing on seven areas of the Nobel Peace Prize winner's concern: the community of man, racism, civil rights, justice and freedom, faith and religion, nonviolence, and peace.
