Why We Can't Wait
The Civil Rights leader's classic and eloquent appeal to conscience-in an inspiring new package

The 1963 campaign launched by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Civil Rights movement on the segregated streets of Birmingham, Alabama, demonstrated to the world the power of nonviolent direct action.

In this remarkable book, Dr. King offers an eloquent and penetrating analysis of the events and pressures that propelled the Civil Rights movement from lunch counter sit-ins and prayer marches to the forefront of American consciousness.

With an Afterword by Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr.
