Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? (Paperback)

by Martin Luther King, Jr (Author), Coretta Scott King (Foreword by) Description 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 had been unavailable for more many 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. . NOTE: Dr. King's daughter Bernice King recommends reading this book during the annual King Holiday Observance to better understand Dr. King’s social justice philosophy and methodology.
