Description

King’s important book on segregated Birmingham

Signed book: Why Can’t We Wait. First softcover printing. NY: Signet, 1964. Softcover, 4.25 x 7, 159 pages. Signed inside the front cover in blue ink, “Best wishes, Martin Luther King.” Autographic condition: light toning inside the front cover working in from the edges, and toned binding adhesive along the right edge, otherwise fine. Book condition: VG/None. This book, which stemmed from King’s famous 1963 ‘Letter from Birmingham Jail,’ describes the nonviolent movement against racial segregation in the United States with a specific focus on the 1963 Birmingham campaign. The publication of the book afforded the ‘Letter from Birmingham Jail’ its widest circulation at the time and drew further support for the civil rights cause. A desirable uninscribed copy from a landmark time in the Civil Rights Movement. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA.
