The final book by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in which we find we an acute analysis of American race relations and the state of the movement after a decade of civil rights efforts. 

"In this book--his last grand expression of his vision--he put forward his most prophetic challenge to powers that be and his most progressive program for the wretched of the earth."--Cornel West

In 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., isolated himself, rented a house in Jamaica with no telephone, and labored over his final manuscript. In this significantly prophetic work, 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.
