Ling, American and Canadian Studies, University of Nottingham; "One of those rare publishing events that generate as much excitement in the cloistered confines of the academy as they do in the general public." - Ebony; "A magnificently produced scholarly achievement." - Philadelphia Inquirer; "A landmark of 20th century history." - Chicago Sun-Times; For all currently available volumes of The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr., please visit http://go.ucpress.edu/mlk"
