Product Description
In 1963, Birmingham, Alabama, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. launched the Civil Rights movement and demonstrated to the world the power of nonviolent direct action. Why We Can’t Wait recounts not only the Birmingham battle, but also examines the history of the civil rights struggle and the tasks that future generations must accomplish to bring about full equality for African Americans. Dr. King’s eloquent analysis of these events propelled the Civil Rights movement from lunch counter sit-ins and prayer marches to the forefront of the American consciousness.
With a special new afterword by The Reverend Jesse Jackson.

Reader’s Rating: 2 / 5
Although this book gives a excellent look into what went on during the beginning of this struggle for freedom, there is too much generalizing, simple retelling of facts, and logical conclusions for my taste. Come on man, where’s the feeling?

While I revere Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as the hero of the Civil Rights Movement, I admit I was disappointed in Why We Can’t Wait. Dr. King describes his past experience in the Civil Rights Movement and reflects on the positives of what have been done, and the need for society to continue progress beyond the Montgomery Bus Boycotts. This is a key point I’m glad Dr. King focuses his book on. The main problem I had with this book was that King’s argument focuses on the excellent actions of his own church and its constituents but never describes further from there. Even as Dr. King describes this struggle vividly and argues the necessity to continue the fight, I felt as though the power, the importance, and the struggle of the Civil Rights Movement were cut-rate to the union of the different religious groups involved. Dr. King didn’t, at least not in this book, expand on some secular perspectives of the Civil Rights Movement. The one reference made in this book to additional perspectives of the movement, of course besides the vicious racism of that time period, was to Elijah Muhammad’s Black Nationalist movement. While Dr. King could have gone in to objectively criticize the problems with this movement, he as a replacement for implied that they were sinners in their own right. Since Dr. King’s main message was that everyone work together to end racism, he could have offered that both sides place aside their differences and work together to achieve their common goal. But as a replacement for, Dr. King used religion as a replacement for of objective criticism to argue against Elijah Muhammad’s Black Jingoism. Of course, one could argue that it makes perfect sense for Dr. King to argue with religious vehemence since he originated as a reverend. But coming from a name who constantly spoke of uniting all Americans and of attempts to reach out beyond the African-American community, that wasn’t the kind of thought provoking analysis I expected. Still, I can’t honestly undermine how Dr. King brilliantly argues to the unsure reader of the 1960s why the Civil Rights Movement is essential not just to African Americans, but to all Americans. And yes, I know the sacrifices Dr. King made for the people of United States as he patiently fought against persons who weren’t even willing to consider this genius as their equal. He only needed to include different perspectives of the same fight.
