The Domestication of Martin Luther King Jr.

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“A fascinating variety of voices addressing the unanswerable question, what would Martin say? These alternatives to what Clarence B. Jones surmises address racism, affirmative action, immigration, homosexuality, and the applicability of King's principled and situational nonviolence to a terrorist age. Notwithstanding King's imperfections, the human being who emerges from these pages remains an extraordinary agent of Divine purpose for our world.”
