Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is known for being one of the greatest orators of the 20th Century, and perhaps in all of American history. In the 1950s and 1960s, his words led the Civil Rights movement and helped change society. Though his speeches refer to the conditions of the 1960s, his assertions that nonviolent protest is the key to democracy and that all humans are equal, are as timeless and powerful today as they were nearly forty years ago. To honor Dr. King, this edition includes Dr. King's recordings, abridged for children, and is commemorated with selected art from our nation's own talent.

Recenzii
KING

is
a
misleading
title;
this
recording
could
well
be
entitled
KING
FOR
EVERYONE:
AN
ESSENTIAL
INTRODUCTION
TO
MARTIN
LUTHER
KING,
JR.
As
one
narrator
remarks,
for
those
who
do
not
have
personal
memories
of
this
man,
this
collection
bears
witness
to
the
period
and
the
person.
Hearing
each
of
Martin
Luther
King,
Jr.'s,
speeches
as
one
in
a
continuum
calls
attention
to
his
passions
and
concerns,
and
underscores
his
oratory
style.
The
introductions
by
distinguished
Americans,
including
George
McGovern,
Coretta
Scott
King,
and
Andrew
Young,
provide
historical
perspective
and
background
for
each
speech.
From
the
Montgomery
Improvement
Association
meeting
to
the
Memphis
Mason
Temple
meeting,
King's
speeches
are
remarkable.
