Martin Luther King; Jr.'s account of the first successful large-scale application of nonviolence resistance in America is comprehensive; revelatory; and intimate. King described his book as "the chronicle of fifty thousand Negroes who took to heart the principles of nonviolence; who learned to fight for their rights with the weapon of love; and who; in the process; acquired a new estimate of their own human worth.'' It traces the phenomenal journey of a community; and shows how the twenty-eight-year-old Dr. King; with his conviction for equality and nonviolence; helped transformed the nation-and the world.

Review
9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. a priceless resourceBy John R. Beaman Jr.If you are into your ancestry and want to know if they served with North Carolina units in the Revolutionary War; this book is the place to start. It is a recent reprint (paperback) of a book first published by the DAR in 1932 and last reprinted in hardback in 1988. These editions are difficult to find and expensive.The book is a compendium of records including pay and pension records for NC soldiers that served in Continental or militia units. It is cross-indexed and has a name idex to start your research. It is not perfect; often names are mis-spelled (very common at the time); but it is a priceless source of information.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Not what I expected!By Texas BobbyAlthough the book covers the NC coniniental soldiers well; it is Very sparse in covering the NC militia soldiers (which interested me most). So to me it was an expensive expenditure for no useful information.1 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Revolutionary AncestorsBy John TatumGreat book; found all of my ancestors.
