Published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech on August 28, 1963.

Many know of the speech but few know the history that surrounds it.

Groups that Martin Luther King stood in firm opposition against—like the US Air Force—have recently tried to co-opt his message. This book helps to set the record straight.

The Trayvon Martin case, the housing crisis and increasing levels of poverty that disproportionally affect people of color, as well as books like Michelle Alexander's New York Times bestseller, The New Jim Crow have renewed calls for racial equality, and a better understanding of Martin Luther King's message.
