Shared Dreams : Martin Luther King Jr. and the Jewish Community

At critical moments int he life of the American Jewish community, of Israel, and of the plight of Soviet Jews, Martin Luther King, Jr. stepped in as an advocate to speak out for the human and civil rights of Jews. His efforts to support world Jewry--within the constraints of his primary role int he civil rights movement--cannot be forgotten. Indeed, they must be remembered. In this honest portrayal of civil rights history, Rabbi Marc Schneier presents the full story of Dr. King's involvement with the Jewish community. Through the use of previously unpublished material and interviews with those who marched at Dr. King's side, the long-neglected story of mutual support and cooperation between Dr. King and the Jewish community is brought to life.
