Book Going Down Jericho Road  The Memphis Strike  Martin Luther King s Last Campaign

Download or read book Going Down Jericho Road The Memphis Strike Martin Luther King s Last Campaign written by Michael K. Honey and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011-02-07 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive history of the epic struggle for economic justice that became Martin Luther King Jr.'s last crusade. Memphis in 1968 was ruled by a paternalistic "plantation mentality" embodied in its good-old-boy mayor, Henry Loeb. Wretched conditions, abusive white supervisors, poor education, and low wages locked most black workers into poverty. Then two sanitation workers were chewed up like garbage in the back of a faulty truck, igniting a public employee strike that brought to a boil long-simmering issues of racial injustice. With novelistic drama and rich scholarly detail, Michael Honey brings to life the magnetic characters who clashed on the Memphis battlefield: stalwart black workers; fiery black ministers; volatile, young, black-power advocates; idealistic organizers and tough-talking unionists; the first black members of the Memphis city council; the white upper crust who sought to prevent change or conflagration; and, finally, the magisterial Martin Luther King Jr., undertaking a Poor People's Campaign at the crossroads of his life, vilified as a subversive, hounded by the FBI, and seeing in the working poor of Memphis his hopes for a better America.

Book excerpt: We live in a culture and a time when we're less willing than ever to accept that losses can lead to blessings and that God uses adversity to change us in ways that are essential for his work. As a consequence, we see very little of God's power in our lives or in the church. But each of us has the potential to let the Spirit work in and through the difficulties we face to change us and reflect his power in ways we can scarcely dream of, and produce an outworking of joy and peace that will carry us through the greatest of difficulties without fear. This book is intended to unravel God's plan and your potential to have that kind of life. Three Times I Pleaded includes study questions for each chapter that can be used for personal study or group discussion.

Samantha and her rookie partner stumble onto a plot to distribute contaminated medicine. Their discovery puts the medics in grave danger and tests the limits of their cunning and loyalty. Set against the backdrop of a gang war and a violent protest against a local abortion clinic, it's difficult at times for the partners to know if there is an actual plot against them or if they're simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Samantha's world is brutal and unpredictable, but it is also a place where strangers care for others in the most extraordinary conditions. To triumph--and survive--Samantha must find a way to rekindle the humanity she believes she has lost.

Book King

  • Author : Harvard Sitkoff
  • Publisher : Macmillan
  • Release : 2009-01-06
  • ISBN : 9780809063499

Book excerpt: In this fast-paced biography, Harvard Sitkoff presents a stunningly relevant and radical King. Honestly assessing his successes alongside his failures, King: Pilgrimage to the Mountaintop weaves together high and low points to capture King's lifelong struggle, through disappointment and epiphany, with his own injunction: "Let us be Christian in all our actions." By telling King's life as one on the verge of reaching its fulfillment, Sitkoff powerfully shows where King's faith and activism were leading him--to a direct confrontation with a president over an immoral war and with an America blind to its complicity in economic injustice.
