レビュー
-
This historically important account of the Montgomery bus boycott, penned by Martin Luther King, Jr., is, for reasons beyond my comprehension, out-of-print. Well-written and easy to read, it provides a first-hand account of the personal, social, and political events leading up to and following the bus boycott as well as rich insights into the man who moved a nation filled with fear and hate through the power of love. His account covers not only what he did, but also why and how he chose to do it. It's a book worth having and keeping.

One of my favorite books. I really like how this used to be a library book, it adds to the historical factor in owning this book. The due dates stamps are even in the book. Very happy with this purchase! Feels vintage=)

King's profound insights and linguistic mastery make the text continually inspiring on spiritual. literary and historical contexts. There is much for the reader to gain.

I read this over and over because you cannot appreciate MLK's wisdom and insight after just one read. his words echo throughout the ages and are as stirring in today's time as then. Considering humanity's shortcomings, I presume his work will be relevant for ages to come-the context may change, but not the underlying premise.
