Two years before his iconic \"I Have a Dream\" address, he called on all Americans -- of every race, background, and belief -- to close the gap between democracy's promise and its practice. This beautiful edition pairs that landmark speech with a foreword from Dr. King's grandchild, Yolanda Renee King, who reflects on her grandfather's enduring vision and what it means to carry it forward today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReaders will take away: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA deeper understanding of the American Dream as a shared promise -- one that asks each of us to see our lives as bound up in one another's.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA compassionate framework for recognizing injustice and responding with courage, clarity, and love.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDr. King's enduring case for nonviolence as the path most worthy of our highest ideals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn invitation to be \"maladjusted\" -- to hold on to hope and refuse to accept the world as less than it could be.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. King believed that we are all caught in what he called \"an inescapable network of mutuality.\" What diminishes one of us diminishes all of us -- and what lifts one of us lifts all of us.
