Tengo un sueño

Perhaps it is not an exaggeration to say that Martin Luther King Jr. can be counted among the ten or twelve most relevant figures of the second half of the 20th century. Baptist pastor in Montgomery (Alabama), the protests and acts resulting from the arrest of Rosa Parks, along with his charisma and personality, ended up placing him at the forefront of the movement for the rights of the black population in the United States and determining his activist work. Aware of Gandhi's thesis, King endorsed the nonviolence thesis, but considered it essential to complement them through economic and political action, as well as not to separate the fight against racism from the fight for the redistribution of wealth and disobedience Activate unjust laws. The volume features his most significant speeches, essays, and sermons throughout his brief but intense period of activity, cut short by his murder in Memphis. The reader will appreciate the renewed validity of his message at a time when, despite the fifty years that have passed, the not only racial, but also social demand, is once again pressing.
