The classic collection of 16 sermons preached and compiled by Dr. Martin Luther King, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and one of the greatest orators in U.S. history
As Dr. King prepared for the Birmingham campaign in early 1963, he drafted the final sermons for Strength to Love, a volume of his most best-known homilies. King had begun working on the sermons during a fortnight in jail in July 1962. While behind bars, he spent uninterrupted time preparing the drafts for works such as "Loving Your Enemies" and "Shattered Dreams," and he continued to edit the volume after his release.
