16492KING JR. Martin Luther. Report on the Montgomery movement featured in the second issue The Liberation. April 1956. The story of King's discovery of a "new and powerful weapon-non-violent resistance." King according to this report sees a "new Negro" emerging in the South: "The extreme tension in race relations in the South today is explained in part by the revolutionary change in the Negro's evaluation of himself and of his destiny and by his determination to struggle for justice." The movement finds its strength King argues in the black community's economic power the church's militant leadership and the ability to implement nonviolent protest tactics. The MIA and the Congress of Racial Equality CORE reprinted and distributed King's article. The introduction is by Jim Peck editor of the CORElator contributor to Crisis and writer of the column "As Jimcrow Flies" in Independent formerly Expose.

18467779Boston: T. R. Marvin 1846. First Edition. Original black blind stamped cloth boards with binder's title in gilt. Tips and edges of spine chipped corners bumped and rubbed else very good. Luther Dimmick 1790-1860 clergyman and writer was born in Shaftsbury Vermont graduated from Harvard Divinity School and served as the pastor of North Church in Newburyport Massachusetts. As a writer he focused on religious topics publishing many of his sermons given at North Church. His published sermons covered a range of topics and themes from funeral eulogies and reflections on Christian scholarship and daily life to essays on the moral aspects of temperance. Although it too has a religious theme his MEMOIR OF MRS. CATHARINE M. DIMMICK is a departure from his other work. It was never a sermon written instead as a spiritual biography of and a memorial to his late wife Catharine Mather Marvin Dimmick 1793-1844. Mrs. Dimmick was born in Norwich Connecticut into a prominent family with colonial roots. Her father died when she was a child and her mother died when she was a teenager and shortly after her mother's death she became a school teacher. She would later move to Newburyport and while attending North Church she met Reverend Dimmick. The two married May 4 1820 and from then until December 8 1844 when Catharine died from liver disease the couple lived a life centered around their shared faith and commitment to ministry. While narrated objectively and with a degree of distance MEMOIR OF MRS. CATHARINE M. DIMMICK is a tenderly written and intimate account of the spiritual life and daily thoughts and concerns of Mrs. Dimmick. Reverend Dimmick uses excerpts from his wife's journals and letters and reflections and comments from his wife's friends and acquaintances as well as his own remembrances to create this memoir. He presents the life of his wife as a model clergyman's wife and as the embodiment of Christian principles. A writer in a review of the book in the October 1846 issue of NEW ENGLANDER AND YALE REVIEW says of Mrs. Dimmick: "She seems to have been a lady of a superior and very active mind and of more than ordinary devotion to the various and trying duties that fall to the lot of a pastor's wife."

16360Martin Luther King Jr. King discusses color discrimination segregation equality police brutality Montgomery and his struggles in this pre-publication original typescript. Martin Luther King's interview with John Freeman was broadcast on 29 October 1961 in the BBC series 'Face to Face'. The present typescript of the interview is from the papers of the program's producer Hugh Burnett and is edited for publication as the section on 'The Rev LUTHER KING' in the book 'Face to Face Edited and introduced by Hugh Burnett' London: Jonathan Cape 1964. On two leaves stapled together. Published by Undated but prepared for publication in 1964. <br/><br/>In this remarkable typescript King talks about his mother's influence on King's beliefs: "I first became conscious of color discrimination at a very early age. I think the first time I was about six years old." King states relating how the white children next door never wanted to play. "Finally I went to my mother with this problem and she tried to explain to me in the best way she could explain to a child of six years old . She tried to explain to me the meaning of the system of segregation but the thing I will always remember is that in the midst of her explanation she always said to me "You must never feel that you are less than anybody else. You must always feel that you are somebody and you must always fee that you are as good as anybody else." King continues "On the one hand my mother taught me that should feel a sense of somebodiness on the other hand I had to go out and face the system which stared me in the face everyday saying "You are less than" "you are not equal to." King goes on "I remember as a child seeing problems of police brutality . in Montgomery Alabama we get no protection from law enforcement agencies." And yet King explains commitment to a moral ideal allows him to be courageous in the face of danger: I have been threatened many many times. There was a time that we received as many as thirty and forty threatening calls a day and of course I received numerous threatening letters .In Montgomery our home was bombed twice . We have had crosses burned on our lawn."<br/><br/>"I don't think anyone in a situation like this can go through it without confronting moments of real fear. But I have always had something that gave me an inner sense of assurance and an inner sense of security and in the final analysis even in moments of loneliness something ultimately came to remind me that in this struggle because it is basically right because it is a thrust forward to achieve something not just for negro people but something that will save the whole of mankind and when I have come to see these things I always felt a sense of cosmic companionship. So that the loneliness and the fear have faded because of a greater feeling of security because of commitment to a moral ideal. There have been times I have had to send my wife and family away for safety . my wife happens to be one of those very strong persons . I can remember a time when I sent her away for safety and a few days later she was back home because she wanted to be there." In fair condition lightly aged and worn. unknown books

16367Martin Luther King Jr. Collection of documents commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. including the program for his funeral services on April 9 1968 and more general material for all who mourned the civil rights leader's tragic death. The official 16 page funeral program contains details of both the private memorial service as well the much larger public service at Morehouse College. The program also features a three page eulogy a timeline of his greatest achievements in civil rights and three more pages of quotes from his many inspiring speeches. In many of these King directly addresses the possibility he would one day be killed for the movement he led. One quote dated 1962 reads: ''It may get me crucified. I may even die. But I want it said even if I die in the struggle that 'He died to make men free''. <br/><br/>A memorial card is also included with a memorial poem commemorating King's life and achievements "From Montgomery to Memphis" printed inside. The card references many of MLK's most famous speeches including his "I Have A Dream" speech from the March on Washington in 1963. The last two documents come from an NAACP fundraising drive in the aftermath of Dr. King's assassination: a poster with the photo-illustrated portrait of Dr. King and the words "He Had a Dream" along with a typed signed letter from NAACP President Roy Wilkins. The flier lists King and a dozen other slain civil rights workers including Medgar Evers asking "They also had dreams . . . how many more" On the final page it asserts that "Together--black and white--we shall overcome." No other examples of poster found at any institution or library as per OCLC. Crease down center of poster. Light discoloring of letter. All materials in very good condition. unknown books
