Description: Often applauded as King's most incisive and eloquent book, "Why We Can't Wait" recounts the Birmingham campaign in vivid detail, while underscoring why 1963 was such a crucial year for the civil rights movement. The text also includes the extraordinary "Letter from Birmingham Jail," which King wrote in April of 1963.

Review Quotes: "No child should graduate from high school without having read this book. In telling the story of the third American Revolution, it is as integral to American history as the Declaration of Independence."--Jesse Jackson
