It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn.” “Social justice and progress are the absolute guarantors of riot prevention. There is no other answer. Constructive social change will bring certain tranquillity; evasions will merely encourage turmoil. Negroes hold only one key to the double lock of peaceful change. The other is in the hands of the white community.” (  ) bookworm12 | Feb 26, 2021 | This book should be required reading for all Americans starting in elementary school. The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was working for not only Negro civil rights, but for economic rights for all poor people when he was cut down prematurely. I'd heard vague comments about this as a teenager, but since all we ever heard about was his famous 'I have a Dream' speach, I shrugged it off. Not only has reading his book (his last, written in 1967) been an intense eye-opener, but on doing some searching, I find that it is not my imagination that the book was ignored by press and buried by libraries. My own uni. library cannot purchase it because it is out of print, and the public library has it in another city, on the stacks where the public can't see it. Dr. King forsaw the link between poverty and terrorism before terrorism was recognized as such before riots were given international expression by the global economy: "Social Justice and progress are the absolute guarantors of riot prevention."

HTML:The last book written by King his final reflections after a decade of civil rights struggles 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.
