An unprecedented and timely collection of Martin Luther King's speeches on labor rights and economic justice.

As we struggle with massive unemployment, a staggering racial wealth gap, and the near collapse of a financial system that puts profIt's before people, King's prophetic writings and speeches underscore his relevance for today.
