Description

“We now have got some difficult days ahead,” civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr., told a crowd gathered at Memphis’s Clayborn Temple on April 3, 1968. “Nevertheless it truly doesn’t matter to me now because I have been to the mountaintop. . . . And I have seen the promised land. I would possibly not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.”

These prophetic words, uttered the day before his assassination, challenged those he left at the back of to see that his “promised land” of racial equality became a reality; a reality to which King devoted the last twelve years of his life.

These words and others are commemorated here in the one major one-volume choice of this seminal twentieth-century American prophet’s writings, speeches, interviews, and autobiographical reflections. A Testament of Hope incorporates Martin Luther King, Jr.’s crucial thoughts on nonviolence, social policy, integration, black nationalism, the ethics of love and hope, and more.
