Publisher's Synopsis
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR - Dare To Dream: The True Story of a Civil Rights Icon
There is no way to talk about the history of the United States of America without talking about the history of the African American men and women who have inhabited this great country since before it was founded. Unfortunately, the relationship between the races in the U.S. has never recovered from the centuries of slavery that the African Americans were subjected to by their European counterparts.
Yet, there has been progress throughout the years. It's possible that, eventually, the past will fall away and reveal a future of peaceful cohabitation. If that ever happens, there is one man that the world will look to as the father of the Civil Rights Movement: Martin Luther King Jr.
Not only was Martin Luther King responsible for some of the most dramatic political opposition to segregation and racism, he is the reason that civil disobedience was the main tool of the Civil Rights Movement. King was a pacifist and urged his followers to follow suit. He was able to gather the courage to do this by studying the ways of the indomitable Mahatma Gandhi and the incredible victories achievable by using only peaceful techniques.
Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream. This book is his story.
