Martin Luther King is a sign that God has not forsaken the United States of America. God has sent him to us.\" What if Heschel's words about King are true? What if this name-branded, oft-sanitized, Super-Bowl-ad-commercialized, National-Mall-memorialized preacher from Atlanta . . . is a prophet whose message America has yet to fully reckon with? This issue of \u003ci\u003ePlough Quarterly\u003c\/i\u003e looks at King's unfinished struggle against the three evils of racism, materialism, and militarism. Perspectives from Edwidge Danticat, Gary Dorrien, Brandon M. Terry, D. L. Mayfield, Eugene Rivers, and Susannah Heschel explore the ways King's message of nonviolence, justice, and love of neighbor still matters today: to refugees and immigrants, soldiers and veterans, preachers and prisoners, black lives matter activists and the white working class. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlso in this issue: original poetry by Naomi Shihab Nye; reviews of new books by James Forman Jr., Steve Kriv k, Jim Forest, and Christopher de Hamel; and art by Yvan Lamothe, Roberson Joseph, Barry Moser, Benny Andrews, Zoe Cromwell, Julian Peters, Asuka Hishiki, Mark Smith, Mary Kang, Marc Chagall, John Partipilo, Yuri Kozyrev, Vinicius Barajas, Iain Stewart, Giovanni Bellini. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlough Quarterly\u003c\/i\u003e features stories, ideas, and culture for people eager to put their faith into action.
