Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?

Book • 1967
In this book, King provides a prophetic analysis of American race relations and the civil rights movement after a decade of significant efforts.

He emphasizes the need for better jobs, higher wages, decent housing, and quality education.

King critiques the 'Black Power' movement and separatist movements, advocating for an integrated society and the realization of justice through nonviolent means.

The book also addresses broader societal issues such as poverty, racism, and militarism, calling for a shift from a 'thing'-oriented society to a 'person'-oriented society.
