Martin Luther King's First Book

Martin Luther King's First Book. "Stride Toward Freedom." 1958, first edition. An eloquent accound of the Montgomery, Alabama Municipal Bus Boycott and how that non-violent act of civil disobedience changed not only the Him Crow South, but American society as a whole. MLK, Jr. was only 29 years old when the book was published. It is a "remarkable story," wrote Norman Cousins in the Saturday Review. "It reaches the reader and leaves him with the feelign that he has had the privelege of being close to a human being who is making an important contribution to living history."
