Synopsis

SHARED DREAMS brings to life the impressive, surprising, and long-neglected history of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s efforts in support of the Jewish community.

Outlines a compelling image of relations between the two communities.... In SHARED DREAMS, Rabbi Schneier reiterates our commonality, as upheld by Martin Luther King, Jr., and fuels the reader to continue to work for the advancement of race relations among all God's children. - from the Preface by Martin Luther King III
