The Rising Tide of Racial Consciousness

By DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. • 13 Jan, 2023
We are proud to rerelease “The Rising Tide of Racial Consciousness” by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., originally published in the December 1960 issue of YWCA Magazine. The eloquence and booming veracity in his written words jump off the pages with the same strength he demonstrated in public, and they reverberate just as powerfully today: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Therefore, no American can afford to be apathetic about the problem of racial justice.”
