The View from the Mountaintop

About the Book

For nearly two decades, Dr. T. Leon Williams has been visiting college campuses, sharing his unique perspective of the historical relevance of the nation’s progress through monologues of the beloved Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In The View from the Mountaintop, Williams charts the course for the advancement of human relations from chance to change. Drawing from his personal and professional experiences, Williams attempts to make meaning of the lived experiences from childhood to adulthood that has shaped his attitude and perspective of America. Through scholarly, personal narratives and for the first time in Williams’ travels, he shares his essays with the public. Williams strategically addresses one question, what would Dr. King have to say today? In his most provocative work, Williams shares his perspective of rethinking nonviolence for the twenty-first century.
