Outline & Further Research

To be frank, I feel like this project is a doctoral dissertation. Considering the amount of time, research, and concepts I've poured into this project I may as well write a book when I finish. So maybe I will in the future.

This weekend I have diligently worked on compiling a comprehensive outline including themes in terms misinterpretations of King's intentions and identified four individuals who greatly impacted King's philosophy and methodology:

• Josiah Royce
• Mahatma Gandhi
• Howard Thurman
• Thich Nhat Hanh

I identified terms that are to be defined and questions I intend to answer. The (current) questions:

• What were King's intentions for his efforts?
• What does King's Dream look like?
• What indications are proof King's Dream has been realized?

Library Research Today

I spent time today at the Downtown San Diego Library on the JSTOR database. I found seven articles that I will review and hopefully use to support the project. In addition, I checked-out a newly released book To Shape A New World which might be helpful, but it seems as though the book is more of a political view rather than the objective, end result view of MLK's philosophy and methodology the project will examine.
