Martin Luther King, Jr. described Stride Toward Freedom as "the chronicle of 50,000 Negroes who took to heart the principles of non-violence, who learned to fight for their rights with the weapon of love, and who, in the process, acquired a new estimate of their own human worth."

On December 1st, 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Rallied by the young preacher and activist Martin Luther King, Jr., the black community of Montgomery organised a historic boycott of the bus service, rising up together to protest racial segregation. This was the first large-scale, non-violent resistance of its kind in America and marked the beginning of a national Civil Rights movement based on Martin Luther King, Jr. s principles.

Stride Toward Freedom is the account of that pivotal turning point in American history, told through Martin Luther King, Jr. s own experiences and stories, chronicling his community s refusal to accept the injustices of racial discrimination.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was a leader of the American Civil Rights movement. One of the greatest activists and orators in American history, Dr. King is particularly remembered for his I Have A Dream speech. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. He was assassinated on April 4th 1968.
