“Entangled Alliances is an important work of early diplomatic history that offers thoughtful & sophisticated racial analysis. Johnson’s archival work draws from a range of interdisciplinary scholarship.” Review in @shafrorg’s Diplomatic History journal. doi.org/10.1093/dh/dha…

On April 3, 1968, the night before he was assassinated, my father delivered what would be his final speech, “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop.” He spoke with a clarity that came from conviction, not certainty. He acknowledged the difficulty of the days ahead, yet he was not moved by fear. He was anchored in purpose and in a faith that justice would prevail. What stands out to me is not only what he said, but how he said it. He was preparing people to stay committed, to stay disciplined, and to continue the work, even without him. His words are not just history. They are instruction. Watch the full speech: youtu.pulse.ly/fymqiqfrfx #MLK #BelovedCommunity #Nonviolence365

Tonight 1968: "I've been to the mountaintop, and I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we, as a people, will get to the Promised Land!"
