What Would Martin Say?

“What Would Martin Say? about the pressing issues of our time is a bold question to ask. To presume to know the answer is even bolder. Clarence Jones is one of the few who possesses the moral authority necessary to even attempt such a task. One that he more than accomplishes with a compelling candor and an uncommon grace and dignity.” —Tavis Smiley

If anyone would have insight into Martin's thoughts and opinions, it would be Clarence B. Jones, King's personal lawyer and one of his closest principal advisers and confidants. Removing the mythic distance of forty years' time to reveal the flesh-and-blood man he knew as his friend, Jones ponders what the outspoken civil rights leader would say about the serious issues that bedevil contemporary America: Islamic terrorism and the war in Iraq, reparations for slavery, anti-Semitism, affirmative action, illegal immigration, and the state of African American leadership.
