- Summary:
- "In June 1961, Dr. King stood before graduating students at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania and offered something this country has always needed: hope grounded in truth. 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."-- Publisher.
