Summary of Where Do We Go from Here 

4.9 . 2437 reviews

Short summary

Have you ever wondered about the Black Lives Matter movements of Martin Luther King Jr.’s days? What did that time have in common with today’s civil rights movements? What racial discrimination trends have lingered or resurfaced in post-World War II United States? This summary will help you answer all the questions about racial discrimination, the efforts, results, and bottlenecks. Please read to the end and learn from Martin Luther King, Jr., about the racial struggle up to the end of his influential life. “Where Do We Go From Here” is a book full of enlightening inspiration. It reveals the tempo of the civil rights movement during the life of Martin Luther King Jr. He insisted that America’s causes of unrest were discrimination and poverty. Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) requires little introduction. If nothing, every living person can attribute the “I Have a Dream!” speech to him. He was a pastor, theologian, and civil rights activist who effectively energized and harnessed the strength of the displeased American masses. In recognition of his works’ extensive impact, King received over fifty honorary degrees from various tertiary institutions. He also received a Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his role in the nonviolent protests against racial injustice in the US. “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” ~ Martin Luther King Jr.

Deciding the projectile of peaceful coexistence

Martin Luther King Jr.’s life has been marked as legendary. He was by no means a perfect man. Still, he confidently contributed to the beginning of peaceful cohabitation between the various races that lavish the United States’ precincts. And he did pay the prime price in the long run — the loss of his precious life.

Before King’s death, he wrote some treatise and volumes—all bordering on the emancipation of the Black American from pseudo servitude. He could have chosen to immortalize the captivating moments of his heroic contribution in the movements. Still, he focused on total freedom for the Black and all poor Americans.

King tried to make two resounding points to the power-wielding minority of America. One, the peace and progress of the United States depends on the coalition of Black and whites. But first, whites need to acknowledge the necessity of investing resources, humaneness, and opportunity to lift the Blacks to the height of their potentials. Two, whites need to own their complicities in driving Black Americans to adopt desperate means of getting a respectable self-identity for themselves.
What would I look like fighting for equality with the white man? I don’t want to go down that low. I want the true democracy that’ll raise me and the white man. ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
Here you have a leader who continually observes the degenerative tendencies of the mass gatherings, marches, and rallies. And he did all the possible best to quell the outwards manifestation of a legitimate bitterness of the American Black. With the black power movement, King rechanneled the energy and showed the masses a better way.
To guard ourselves against bitterness, we need the vision to see in this generation’s ordeals, the opportunity to transfigure both ourselves and our immediate society.
second key point

Position check – what are our racial coordinates?

The “Black Power” theme is starting to lose its significance. Not that it’s fading off, but the fealty is getting mixed, and its potentials unpredictable. Therefore, the movements turn out to be experiencing a scalar problem—it possesses magnitude but was gradually losing course. The institution of social justice, racial integration, and communal progress should douche the embers of violence that may want to erupt during riots.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
