Infos

<p>Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his powerful &ldquo;I Have a Dream&rdquo; speech on August 28, 1963. Sixty years later, the speech endures as a defining moment in the civil rights movement and remains a beacon in the ongoing struggle for racial equality.<br /><br />This gripping book tells the story behind &ldquo;The Speech&rdquo; and sheds light on other key moments of the March on Washington, drawing on interviews with Clarence Jones, a close friend of and draft speechwriter for Martin Luther King Jr.; Joan Baez, who sang at the march; as well as Angela Davis and other leading civil rights luminaries.<br /><br />Now with a new introduction to mark the 60th anniversary of that historic day in Washington, <em>The Speech</em> offers an essential analysis of King&rsquo;s words at a moment of urgent reckoning and renewed calls for justice and liberation.</p>
