FOREWORD BY LORD ALTON
This is an extract from the foreword to the book:
“As a teenager I felt especially challenged by the killing of Dr Martin Luther King. King warned of the danger of silence in the face of the evil of prejudice and bigotry, and he made a passionate case in defence of liberty and of life itself.
“Just over a decade after King was murdered, and now serving as a young MP at Westminster, to remind myself of the importance of doing what you can to make a difference – I pinned the words of King to my office wall in the House of Commons.”
