The series encompasses Dr. King’s most important writings, including sermons, orations, lectures, prayers, and all of his previously published books that were out of print. Beacon Press has worked with leading scholars and civil rights activists, delving into archives and transcribing audio, to create entirely new books. Published accessibly and in multiple formats, each volume includes new material from acclaimed scholars, activists, and religious leaders underscoring Dr. King’s continued relevance for the twenty-first century and bringing his message to a new generation of readers.
