An exceptional association copy, inscribed in the year of publication and just eight months after the assassination of Dr. King. Sammy Younge, Jr. (1944-1966) was a civil rights activist, US Navy member, and a student at the Tuskegee Institute with a major in political science. He participated in the Selma to Montgomery march and aided in efforts to register Black voters with the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. On January 3, 1966, Younge, Jr. was shot by a white gas station attendant in Tuskegee, AL, after attempting to use a "whites only" bathroom. James Forman, activist and Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) executive, wrote that the murder of Younge, Jr. marked "the end of tactical nonviolence" in the civil rights movement. The recipient of this copy, Dr. Quentin Young, co-founded the Medical Committee for Human Rights and volunteered to aid in registering black voters during the Mississippi Freedom Summer in 1964. Young, a resident of Chicago, also served as a physician to Martin Luther King, Jr. during King's many stops in the city.
