In a Single Garment of Destiny: A Global Vision of Justice

An unprecedented and timely collection that captures the global vision of Dr. King-in his own words; ; Too many people continue to think of Martin Luther King, Jr., only as a Southern civil rights leader or an American Gandhi, thus ignoring his impact on poor and oppressed people around the world. In a Single Garment of Destiny is the first book to treat King’s positions on global liberation struggles through the prism of his own words and activities. ; ; From the pages of this extraordinary collection, Dr. King emerges not only as an advocate for global human rights but also as a towering figure who collaborated with Eleanor Roosevelt, Albert J. Luthuli, Thich Nhat Hanh, and other national and international figures in addressing a multitude of issues we still struggle with today- from racism, poverty, and war to religious bigotry and intolerance. Introduced and edited by distinguished King scholar Lewis Baldwin, this volume breaks new ground in our understanding of King.
