The wealth of his writings, both published and unpublished, are now preserved in this authoritative, chronologically arranged, multi-volume edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVolume Two\u003c\/i\u003e begins with King's doctoral work at Boston University and ends with his first year as pastor of the historic Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. It includes papers from his graduate courses and a fully annotated text of his dissertation. There is correspondence with people King knew in his years prior to graduate school and a transcription of the first known recording of a King sermon. We learn, too, that Boston was where King met his future wife, Coretta Scott.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccepting the call to serve Dexter, the young King followed the church's tradition of socially active pastors by becoming involved in voter registration and other social justice issues. In Montgomery he completed his doctoral work, and he and Coretta Scott began their marriage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Papers of Martin Luther King, Jr.\u003c\/i\u003e represents a testament to a man whose life and teaching have had a profound influence, not only on Americans, but on people of all nations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Martin Luther King, Jr., Papers Project at Stanford University was established by the Center for Nonviolent Social Change, Inc. in 1984.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Martin Luther King","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42960046882934,"sku":"9780520079519","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/1374\/6550\/files\/CoreSourceHub_13c4caf6-e995-4a68-ba89-3d50ad8c3d65.jpg?v=1767792943","url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/the-papers-of-martin-luther-king-jr-volume-ii-9780520079519","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
