Great Analysis

A great textual analysis of one of the greatest speeches of the twentieth-century, and possibly of all time. Eric J. Sundquist provides not only a careful reading of Martin Luther King Jr.'s seminal speech on the March on Washington but also several others including his prophetic Mountaintop speech in Memphis.

There isn't very much new research gained from this philological analysis and Sundquist stays away from some of the more controversial aspects of MLK, but Sundquist's insights are nonetheless very interesting to read. As he states in the introduction, "our challenge today is to recapture King's dream -- not to relive, nostalgically, the elation of August 28, 1963, nor pretend that he could or would give the same speech today" (p 13).

Anybody studying MLK the poet, or the history of the civil rights movement will benefit from this book, definitely a recommend read.
