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 significantly
prophetic work, which has been unavailable for more than ten years, we
find King's acute analysis of American race relations and the state of
the movement after a decade of civil rights efforts. Here 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, powerfully asserting that
humankind-for the first time-has the resources and technology to
eradicate poverty.
