About This Book

"We want to be free." So begins the remarkable last speech given by our century's greatest civil rights leader and orator, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King spoke those words to a cheering crowd on April 3, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. The next day, as he stood on a motel balcony, the thirty-nine-year-old minister was shot and killed.

Eloquently revealing the courage, conviction, and faith that roused the conscience of a nation and the world, I've Been to the Mountaintop offers a determined vision of justice, a timeless message of faith, and, in retrospect, a poignantly prophetic portrait of a brave man at peace with himself.
