A Call to Conscience: The Landmark Speeches of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This man had a godsent power in his voice. Now,i was really moved by some of his speeches. Where did he take it all from? Truly one of the most powerful and influential speakers ever heard in rgds to human rights activism.

Having been brought up hearing about Dr King and his life but never really reading anything of value about him, I decided to download and listen to this audio book.

I found it to be truly breath taking and inspiring. With introductions by prominent people who knew him well and then to hear his speeches in live format was spectacular. Some of the early recordings are somewhat difficult to listen to considering the quality of sound, but 9 out of 10 are of very good sound quality.

What an extraordinary man and what a fantastic message! Just as important today as it was during the civil rights movement. If you want to hear Dr Martin Luther Kings words from his own mouth combined with his fantastic oratory skills, this is a must have!

The introductions to the speeches set the stage to make it easier to understand why, when, and what happened. MLK's voice brings the words to life. Most of the speech recordings are surprisingly audible. One of the few audible books that I've gone all the way through twice.

I was listening to this for MLK day and realized Dr King speeches sound quality is so messed up I can't make out what he is saying.

Try to improve the filtering from the old recording so that it produces sound that is understandable.

no

I was listening to this for MLK day and realized Dr King speeches sound quality is so messed up I can't make out what he is saying.

This book, best heard as an audiobook, is deeply important for reminding us how to be decent and contributing members of the world.

This Audio version is awesome. I would definitely recommend this. This is a MUST have.

Just make it so I can hear what the man is saying! Sadly, I have tried to listen to this on multiple occasions, and I just can't make out what is being said and abandon it quickly. If I had a transcript at least it would help.

PLEASE make full transcripts available. I so badly want to know what he said first hand. I fear that in our present time, he has been co-opted by those with a their own axe to grind, and not necessarily in a way he would agree with.

The book seemed to pick a good pace. However, as soon as the live speeches start, the audio quality declines substantially.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! I have always admired Dr. King, after listening to him I am blown away.

Trying to summarize or appraise MLK's speeches seems irreverent and a false sense of being an equal. Listening carefully to his deep faith, deep sense of justice for all, fears, and call to everyone being better than we imagine we can be reaches a deep spiritual plain. This recording is worth a frequent repeat.
