WhitakerBeginning early in his career, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. recognized the moral and humanitarian need to pursue social justice and equity for marginalized Americans, those for whom the American dream had proven to be an elusive ideal.

Dorsey, applies the ideology and activism of Dr. King to its analysis of contemporary sociopolitical issues in the United States and abroad. The project begins with a foreword that situates the subsequent essays within the context of contemporary social developments. Grouped into themed sections, the essays cover such topics as voting rights, public protest, police brutality, poverty and wage discrimination, healthcare, and more. The epilogue concludes with a discussion of the timeless impact of Dr. King's philosophy and activism, as well as the implications of his work for the future of domestic and global leadership. Dream and Legacy, Volume II identifies a variety of practical lessons that can help resolve contemporary social problems.

Review

In the many years that have passed since his assassination, we are still debating the legacy of Dr. King. Unfortunately, discrimination remains in America, and it disproportionately impacts poor people of color. The essays in Dream and Legacy, Volume II highlight the many discriminatory barriers that we continue to fight as a society." - Sharon Wright Austin, professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Florida
