"Stride Toward Freedom" is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s firsthand account of the Montgomery bus boycott, a pivotal event in the American civil rights movement. Written just two years after the successful culmination of the boycott, the book explores Dr. King's political evolution before, during, and after the boycott. It delves into his early encounters with economic injustice and racial discrimination, as well as his decision to join the NAACP.

The memoir underscores the collaborative efforts of the movement and highlights Dr. King's interactions with key figures such as Rosa Parks and Claudette Colvin. Through the collective experiences of the community, the book illustrates how Dr. King, at the age of 28, played a transformative role in the nation and the world, advocating for equality and nonviolence.
