Incredible book was just able to finish reading. Also the book itself is stunning it’s much larger in person almost like a textbook size so it’s a great table book.
This is not a book of explicit leadership lessons as the title and subtitle might suggest. Rather it is a collection of some of Martin Luther King Jr.’s key speeches followed by commentary by philanthropist and entrepreneur Robert F. Smith. King’s speeches inform and inspire. They make readers aware of the racism that Blacks in America faced during King’s time and continue to experience today. His words also still have the power to move people to action. Smith’s reminiscences personalize the experiences of Blacks in America. He also shares what he and others are doing today to continue King’s fight against discrimination. This is a book meant to move people to take action to manifest Martin Luther King’s vision for all Americans.
An engaging analysis of the teachings of one of the most pivotal figures in modern history.
This book seriously inspired me. Combining Dr. King Jr.’s wisdom and Robert F. Smith’s own incredible life experiences, and the result is both uplifting and practical. The way he breaks down seven of King’s principles makes it feel doable to actually lead with courage and compassion in everyday life. His personal stories really stuck with me. It’s one of those books that leaves you fired up to go make a difference.
