Amazing primary source that shows what King truly believed and how so much of his “dream” is unrealized.

Such powerful words, especially as men and women continue to face injustice and police brutality today.

Everyone should read this book! The writings of Martin Luther King Jr. are just as relevant today as they were 40 years ago. This book is a great introduction to his ideas.

I read King’s words little by little over the last few weeks, and I am all the better for it. What a wise, courageous, loving soul he was. I recommend that everyone read “Letters from a Birmingham Jail.” Although King addressed issues and struggles of the past, many of his words still ring true today. He inspires me to work so that the words don’t apply so strongly in the future.

I read in English but this review is in Bahasa Indonesia

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character


Cukup percaya diri mengatakan kalau sudah pernah tahu pidato legendaris Martin Luther King, Jr. yang berjudul I Have a Dream. Ternyata ketika memeriksa lama Goodreads, aku belum pernah membacanya. Kalau bukan karena mbak Melisa yang mengunggah Year in Books-nya tahun ini, mungkin aku tidak tergerak dan menemukan versi yang satu ini.

Dalam versi ini, yang disajikan tidak hanya tulisan. Ia juga dilengkapi dengan ilustrasi yang cantik. Membuat setiap "bait" dari I Have a Dream menjadi semakin kuat.

Awalnya aku pikir, 40 halaman hanyalah menitikberatkan poin yang ingin disampaikan oleh Martin Luther King, Jr. Namun ternyata, diberikan juga naskah pidato lengkapnya sebagaimana yang disampaikan oleh Martin Luther King, Jr. kala itu.

Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice
