Reflections on Our Pastor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, 1954-1960 (Hardcover)

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. pastored the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama from 1954 to 1960. Within months of his arrival there, Rosa Parks, a young seamstress, refused to yield her seat to a white man on a segregated Montgomery bus. Her arrest sparked the formation of the Montgomery Improvement Association and the famous Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955-1956. The young Rev. King was elected leader of this epic struggle which ushered in the nonviolent direct action phase of the Civil Rights movement.

This unique book records the testimonies of Rev. King's congregation. They present a view of "Brother Pastor" Dr. King as we have never seen him before, as he rapidly rose to international prominence as one of the greatest leaders of the modern era.
