"FREEDOM is a robust collection of more than 600 quotes and passages from speakers from all over the world–artists, activists, politicians, writers, religious leaders, and many others– provoking thoughtful reflection on our most important and precious value. Separated into over 30 sections–from Justice, Speech, and Slavery to Religion, America, and Government–this compendium covers all of the major areas of the interpretation of freedom. Included are sections from the Bill of Rights, the Magna Charta, the Declaration of Independence, the Gettysburg Address, Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, and the inaugural addresses of many United States presidents."--Dust jacket flap.
