Publications
The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr. has become the definitive record of the most significant correspondence, sermons, speeches, published writings, and unpublished manuscripts of one of America's most well-known advocates for peace and justice.
The eleven sermons featured in this collection stand as a profound testament to King's prophetic voice against oppression.
This volume features the landmark speeches of King's career, spanning from the Montgomery bus boycott to his last speech in Memphis.
The Martin Luther King, Jr. Encyclopedia is based on the extensive historical research originally conducted for The Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr. Unlike other encyclopedias, the King Encyclopedia draws upon the Papers Project's access to vast collections of primary source documents related to King and the movements he inspired.
Written in his own words, this historymaking autobiography tells the inspiring life story of the preacher and preeminent leader of a movement that continues to transform America and the world.
