America Will Be!: Conversations on Hope, Freedom, and Democracy

This illuminating dialogue between Buddhist leader Daisaku IkedaÂ and Vincent Harding, a friend and advisor to Martin Luther King, Jr.,Â recounts the historic events of the American civil rights movement, with an emphasis on the spiritual and philosophical values and ideas that they believe should guide all modern experiments in democracy.Â It sheds light on the contributions of major leaders such as King, Gandhi, and Obama, while also calling attention to the roles played by women and "ordinary people" in social justice struggles.Â Divided into 16 conversations, including chapters on character, encouragement, influence, and revolution,Â itÂ reveals howÂ the movementâ€™s victories expressed a profound vision of freedom and equalityÂ through nonviolent social change. Above all, Harding and Ikeda offer a cross-cultural perspectiveÂ with a core message of hope and human possibility.
