Book Reviews of Why We Can't Wait (Signet Classics)
Book Review: A Sample of Dr. Martin Luther King
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is merely a sample of Dr. King and his words of wisdom. Originally penned in 1964, it expresses King's views on pacifism and why the time was right for the civil rights movement. King proves to be a gifted writer as he use metaphors and concrete examples to state his case. It only leaves reader to wonder how Dr. King would feel if he were alive today.
The one problem I had with this book is that it became redundant at times. In order to restate a point, King uses a virtual plethora of metaphors and examples. While I think his argument was very well stated, it read more like poetry at times.
I was able to gauge the feelings of Dr. King a lot better after reading this book. I also learned facts about the movement that I did not know. For example, I had no idea that the start of the civil rights movement was exactly 100 years after the Emancipation Proclamation. I suspect other readers can also learn a lot from Dr. King and this book. All that he lived for and taught are far from obsolete.
