In 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., isolated himself from the demands of the civil rights movement, rented a house in Jamaica with no telephone, and labored over his final manuscript. In this significantly prophetic work, which has been unavailable for more than ten years, we find King's acute analysis of American race relations and the state of the movement after a decade of civil rights efforts. Here he lays out his thoughts, plans, and dreams for America's future, including the need for better jobs, higher wages, decent housing, and quality education. With a universal message of hope that continues to resonate, King demanded an end to global suffering, powerfully asserting that humankind-for the first time-has the resources and technology to eradicate poverty.

1967年，小马丁-路德-金博士将自己与民权运动的要求隔离开来，在牙买加租了一间没有电话的房子，在他最后的手稿中苦苦思索。在这本十多年来一直无法获得的具有重大预言意义的作品中，我们发现金对美国种族关系和十年民权努力后的运动状况的敏锐分析。在这里，他阐述了他对美国未来的想法、计划和梦想，包括对更好的工作、更高的工资、体面的住房和优质教育的需求。金要求结束全球的苦难，并有力地宣称，人类第一次拥有了消除贫困的资源和技术，这是一个普遍性的希望信息，至今仍在引起共鸣。
