Black Interest and Fiction

"That until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned; That until there are no longer first-class and second class citizens of any nation; That until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes; That until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race; That until that day, the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion, to be pursued but never attained..."

 Haile Selassie I United Nations Conference (New York, 1963)

Housmans is proud to be able to stock a comprehensive number of books that portray the life, history, family and impact of Martin Luther King.
