Hardcover. First edition. Fine in fine dustwrapper. Inscribed by the author: “To Mrs. Thomas Taylor In appreciation for your great support. Martin Luther King, Jr.” The last book published before King’s death, written after a period of solitude in Jamaica. Following the historic passage of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts, King knew there was still much to do. In this book he lays out a way ahead, not only for African-Americans, but for all people suffering beneath the yoke of poverty in America, as well as reasserts the importance of non-violence protest in the face of growing calls for more radical and violence opposition. A beautiful copy of this extended essay on power and its uses.
