Book Description
Excerpt from Gomery of Montgomery, Vol. 1 of 2: A Family History "Old Man. Threescore and ten I can remember well; Within the volume of which time I have seen Hours dreadful and things strange; but this sore night Hath trifled former knowings." - Macbeth. It was the year after the Revolutionary War had ended, and that part of the newly formed Union, which had suffered most during that long and passionate struggle for freedom against the ideas and pretensions of the mother-country, was just beginning to enjoy the advantages of peace, and to experience the delight of receiving back the sons who, years before, had been sent to do battle against the invading English. From this part of the country, all who were able to bear arms had gone forth to fight, and perhaps to fall, hundreds of miles away from home, leaving their own hearthstones to be defended by the patriotic women; the men too old, and the boys too young, to join the army. Among those people, there was no disloyalty to the cause, no Tories or traitors to be feared. The feelings of patriotism were so intense, and the hatred of the English and Hessians so bitter and deep, that no one suspected an enemy or spy in his neighbor. The life and fortune of every man, woman, and child, were in the struggle; and with such a make-weight there could be but one result.

The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr., Volume VI
Author: Martin Luther King Jr.
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520341945
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 755
Book Description
Dedicated to documenting the life of America's best-known advocate for peace and justice, The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr. breaks the chronology of its series to present King's never-before-published sermon file. In 1997 Mrs. Coretta Scott King granted the King Papers Project permission to examine papers kept in boxes in the basement of the Kings' home. The most significant finding was a battered cardboard box that held more than two hundred folders containing documents King used to prepare his celebrated sermons. This private collection that King kept in his study sheds considerable light on the theology and preaching preparation of one of the most noted orators of the modern era. These illuminating papers reveal that King's concern about poverty, human rights, and social justice was clearly present in his earliest handwritten sermons, which conveyed a message of faith, hope, and love for the dispossessed. His enduring message can be charted through his years as a seminary student, as pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, as a leader of the Montgomery bus boycott, and, ultimately, as an internationally renowned proponent of human rights who saw himself mainly as a preacher and "advocate of the social gospel." Ten of the original and unedited sermons King submitted for publication in the 1963 book Strength to Love and audio versions of King's most famous sermons are the culmination of this groundbreaking work.

The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr., Volume V
Author: Martin Luther King Jr.
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520341937
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 704
Book Description
The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr. has become the definitive record of the most significant correspondence, sermons, speeches, published writings, and unpublished manuscripts of one of America's best-known advocates for peace and justice. Threshold of a New Decade, Volume V of the planned fourteen-volume series, illustrates the growing sophistication and effectiveness of King and the organizations he led while providing an unparalleled look into the surprising emergence of the sit-in protests that sparked the social struggles of the 1960s. During this pivotal period of his career, King traveled to India in early 1959 to meet with Prime Minister Nehru and other associates of Mahatma Gandhi. After returning to Montgomery, King confronted the continuing ineffectiveness of his Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) by demanding personnel changes and agreeing to relocate to Atlanta at the beginning of 1960. King's move took place just before African American students in the South reclaimed the energy of the Montgomery bus boycott with their bold sit-in protests, which King predicted would become "an integral part of the history which is reshaping the world, replacing a dying order with modern democracy." He was arrested in October after participating in a sit-in protest in Atlanta. His resulting imprisonment led presidential candidate John F. Kennedy to phone his sympathies to King's wife, Coretta, a move many credit for providing the margin of victory in the close election of 1960.
