To the promised land : Martin Luther King and the fight for economic justice
Honey, Michael K.2019
Books
Beyond Martin Luther King's dream of civil and voting rights lay a revolutionary vision of economic justice. Drawing on a new generation of scholarship about the civil rights era in America, 'To the Promised Land' goes beyond the iconic view of Martin Luther King as an advocate of racial harmony to explore his profound commitment to the poor and working class, and his call for 'non-violent resistance' to all forms of oppression, including economic injustice.
