He explores the complexities of King’s relationships with other civil rights leaders, the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, and the FBI’s J.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., Introduction by Cornel West A revealing collection that restores Dr. King as being every bit as  radical as Malcolm X. “The radical King” was a democratic socialist who sided with poor and working people in the class struggle taking place in capitalist societies…. The response of the radical King to our catastrophic moment can be put in one word: revolution—a revolution in our priorities, a reevaluation of our values, a reinvigoration of our public life, and a fundamental transformation of our way of thinking and living that promotes a transfer of power from oligarchs and plutocrats to everyday people and ordinary citizens.   A TIME TO BREAK SILENCE: THE ESSENTIAL WORKS OF MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., FOR STUDENTS by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Introduction by Walter Dean Myers The first collection of King’s essential writings for high school students and young people. A Time to Break Silence presents Martin Luther King, Jr.'s most important writings and speeches—carefully selected by teachers across a variety of disciplines—in an accessible and user-friendly volume.   FOR YOUNGER READERS:   MARTIN LUTHER KING: THE PEACEFUL WARRIOR by Ed Clayton, Donald Bermudez, Xernona Clayton Follow the inspiring life of Martin Luther King Jr. in a moving, vital, and informative book by an author and an illustrator with close ties to Dr. King’s family.
