A New Foundation— — —Not a Sequel
This work honors the courage of the old movement while placing its humanist foundation on trial — and sets down the biblically aligned, Christocentric charter of the new civil rights: faith, ownership, advocacy, and a movement that joins us together instead of dividing us apart.
“...that God may be all in all.”
1 Corinthians 15:28 — The Climax
All fifteen chapters build toward the resurrection hope of 1 Corinthians 15 — where the new order is revealed not as politics, but as Christ filling all in all.
Fifteen Chapters. Three Movements.
Examining the Old Order
The Dream on Trial, the Social Gospel, Liberation Theology, humanism, and compliance as currency — what the old movement actually stood on.
The Philosophical Fault Lines
Christocentric vs. anthropocentric justice, mishpat and tsedaqah, the wedge of identity politics, Babel vs. Pentecost.
The Charter of the New Civil Rights
The Christocentric charter, faith-driven advocacy in practice, ownership and economic empowerment, one nation undivided.
“...that God may be all in all.”
1 Corinthians 15:28 — The Climax of the Book
Every chapter builds toward the resurrection hope of 1 Corinthians 15 — the theological summit where the new order is revealed not as politics, but as Christ filling all in all.

The Dream on Trial
Opens on Harriet Tubman Day — March 8, 2003 — in Cambridge, Maryland, where enthusiasts of the King movement from the MLK Center anoint the author 'the King Boy' — a name that exposes the culture's demand that every new herald be an extension of the mid-century dream. Honors the old guard's blood-bought courage while placing its philosophical foundation on trial, announcing the book's thesis: a movement can have righteous actors and a flawed foundation, and only a Christocentric foundation can carry the future.
The King Boy & The King
The finalized cover places Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. above Rev. Walter L. Smith III (WS-3) — a reflection of the anointing WS-3 received on Harriet Tubman Day, March 8, 2003, in Cambridge, Maryland, from enthusiasts of the King movement who were part of the MLK Center.
