King’s book Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community? is published.

In 1967, Martin Luther King Jr. published Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?, his final book before his assassination. Written during a period of deep social unrest, the book reflects King’s most candid and critical thoughts about the state of the civil rights movement and the future of American democracy. In it, he confronts the growing divisions within the movement, the persistent realities of poverty and racism, and the dangers of relying solely on legislative victories. King challenges both white moderates and fellow activists, urging a deeper commitment to justice, economic equity, and the eradication of structural inequality—not just desegregation. This work stands as one of King’s most forward-thinking and radical texts, offering a vision that extended beyond civil rights to include economic justice and global peace. He called for a “revolution of values” and proposed a guaranteed income, criticizing the failings of capitalism and the militarism of American foreign policy. Through this book, King urged the nation to choose between chaos and community, between continuing cycles of inequality or embracing bold, moral change. It remains a powerful guide for those seeking to understand his broader vision for a just society. #MomentsOfLife #MoofLife_Moment #MoofLife #MLKBooks #WhereDoWeGoFromHere #EconomicJustice #ChaosOrCommunity #KingLegacy #CivilRightsVision #SocialJustice
