‚He changed the course of history‘ Barack Obama ‚Lightning makes no sound until it strikes‘ This is the momentous story of the Civil Rights movement, told by one of its most powerful and eloquent voices. Here Martin Luther King, Jr. recounts the pivotal events in the city of Birmingham, Alabama in 1963 that propelled his non-violent campaign for racial justice from a movement of lunch counter sit-ins and prayer meetings to a phenomenon that ‚rocked the richest, most powerful nation to its foundations‘. As inspiring and resonant as it was upon publication, Why We Can’t Wait is both a unique historical document, and an enduring testament to one man’s wise, courageous and endlessly hopeful vision.
