This essay by Thoreau first published in 1849, argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule their consciences. It goes on to say that individuals have a duty to avoid allowing the government to make them the agents of injustice. The quote: "That government is best which governs least," sometimes attributed to Thomas Jefferson or Thomas Paine, actually was first found in this essay. Thoreaus' thoughts were motivated by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War but they are still relevant and resonate today.

“The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line,” writes Du Bois, in one of the most prophetic works in all of American literature. First published in 1903, this collection of 15 essays dared to describe the racism that prevailed at that time in America—and to demand an end to it. Du Bois’ writing draws on his early experiences, from teaching in the hills of Tennessee, to the death of his infant son, to his historic break with the conciliatory position of Booker T. Washington.

Not his best.
- By Janet Campbell on 08-01-18
Publisher's Summary
In a rousing speech on race, poverty, and economic justice - given less than a year before his assassination - Martin Luther King Jr. drives home the mission behind his Poor People's Campaign. It is a clear-eyed look at the disparity of wealth in America, what it means for people of all colors - and a message of inspiration dedicated to the power of the people.
"And I say, if we will stand and work together, we will bring into being that day when justice will roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. We will bring into being that day when America will no longer be two nations but when it will be one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
Wanda Sykes' powerful performance delivers King's compassion, outrage, insight, and vulnerability like few others could - and reminds us all of the relevance his words still have today.
"The Other America" is one of 23 speeches and essays from The Radical King, curated by Dr. Cornel West, including words never recorded in public - a revelation for his legacy.
The Martin Luther King Estate has allowed, for the first time, a dramatic interpretation of King's words, by some of the most charismatic and activist actors working today: LeVar Burton, Mike Colter, Colman Domingo, Danny Glover, Gabourey Sidibe, Wanda Sykes, and Michael Kenneth Williams.
"The Other America" excerpt from The Radical King is free of charge to all listeners until Monday, April 2, 2018. To preorder the full, revealing collection, visit www.audible.com/TheRadicalKing.

My first audible experience, and the best!!!
this was absolutely amazing to listen to. I highly recommend Cornel West and Wanda for what they have done here I personally have never heard the speech by King himself but having it Revisited and provide it to us in this manner was extremely refreshing. All of the issues and plights of the poor class he spoke of we still experience today. History does not repeat itself it rhymes and this speech is do relevant and inspiring!!!

Eye Opening
I love Wanda Sykes. That was foremost why I listened to this speech.
I consider myself a SJW. I have stood up for equal rights since 1983. I was 13 years old. I thought I had open eyes on the injustices of a country rigged against anyone not white. The language the Reverend uses is cunningly explosive and hit me hard in my heart and soul. What I thought I knew was merely a dusting. The good Reverend enlightened my spirit on the complete power of a spoken word sans violence. Violence is a weak person's tool. I am awed and humbled by his speech. I hope everyone who has the ability will listen and take his words to heart.

The brilliance of King
So insightful. We hung on every word. His ability to express such powerful and heart felt truths of oppression was so clear. Sadly over the past 50+ years we have barely gotten off the mark. The wisdom and genius of Dr. King is solely missed..

Thank You Wanda!
Wanda's reading of Dr. Martin Luther King's speech is beautiful. I am a white person in grad school in the process of changing my career to become a high school teacher. I frequently debate with my class that while neo-liberalism is bypassing the majority of the black community before they get a chance to become key players in the corporate world by outsourcing high paying tech jobs to international workers, and neglecting sponsorship and involvement in public school curriculum-- but liberalism is equally harming the black community by telling them lies and harboring white people who prostrate themselves rather than applying themselves to practical improvement.
The going opinion in colleges among professors and students of all races is that the federal government should be moving toward a socialist state,
however,
Dr. King is clearly saying on March 10, 1968 in this speech that African Americans want equal rights in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
In 2018, amidst continuing struggles, those Americans who have the experience, leadership and knowledge need keep moving forward to foster career readiness in American high school children of all socioeconomic statuses and races, and to help African American children to feel confident and competitive, understand their identity, importance and rights as Americans; and to include historical accuracy in teaching the amazing contributions that their ancestors have made toward building the United States.
