While it is vital to map the material realities that black, poor, undocumented, and other historically marginalized and aggrieved communities are experiencing and attempting to navigate, it is equally important to imagine, outline, and document the radical social vision King and others were envisioning and working toward, and the chapters in this book gesture toward this goal in the realm of policy.--Tasneem Siddiqui Journal of Southern History

Extremely important. . . .While it is vital to map the material realities that black, poor, undocumented, and other historically marginalized and aggrieved communities are experiencing and attempting to navigate, it is equally important to imagine, outline, and document the radical social vision King and others were envisioning and working toward, and the chapters in this book gesture toward this goal in the realm of policy.--Tasneem Siddiqui Journal of Southern History, Volume LXXXV, No. 2, February 2019 From 'A Dream that Occurred or a Dream Deferred' by Byron D'Andra Orey, Lakeyta M. Bonnette-Bailey, and Athena M. King to 'King the Sellout or Sellin' Out King?' by James L. Taylor, this volume has some real gems of scholarly treatises. All scholars are taking the intellectual legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and offering fresh analysis for contemporary politics. Organized in three crucial areas of US politics--public policy, foreign policy, and sociopolitical developments--Dream and Legacy does a fine job resurrecting the liberation theology of Dr. King and making us think about the relevancy of his ideas for our current political state.--Andrea Y. Simpson, associate professor of political science at University of Richmond and author of The Tie That Binds: Identity and Political Attitudes in the Post-Civil Rights Generation Is Martin Luther King Jr. simply a historical figure, frozen in time? The authors of this book roar, 'No!' They tap King's philosophy as a resource for understanding everything from hip hop to health care and from foreign policy to university faculty. These wide-ranging and thoughtful essays reveal much of our current national distress and illuminate solutions.--Keith D. Miller, professor of English at Arizona State University and author of Voice of Deliverance: The Language of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Its Sources and Martin Luther King's Biblical Epic: His Final, Great Speech
