Stride Toward Freedom


Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story is Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic account of the 1955–56 Montgomery Bus Boycott. The book describes the conditions of African Americans living in Alabama during the era, and chronicles the events and participant's planning and thoughts about the boycott and its aftermath.

Pilgrimage to Nonviolence

In the chapter, Pilgrimage to Nonviolence, King outlined his understanding of nonviolence, which seeks to win an opponent to friendship, rather than to humiliate or defeat him. The chapter draws from an address by Wofford, with Rustin and Stanley Levison also providing guidance and ghostwriting.
