A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches"We've got some difficult days ahead," Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., told a crowd gathered at Memphis's Clayborn Temple on April 3, 1968. "But it really doesn't matter to me now because I've been to the mountaintop And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the Promised Land." This prophetic speech, uttered the day before his assassination, challenged those King left

"We've got some difficult days ahead," Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., told a crowd gathered at Memphis's Clayborn Temple on April 3, 1968. "But it really doesn't matter to me now because I've been to the mountaintop ... And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the Promised Land."

This prophetic speech, uttered the day before his assassination, challenged those King left behind to see that his "promised land" of racial equality became a reality. These words and others are commemorated in the only major one-volume collection of this civil rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner's writings, speeches, interviews, and autobiographical reflections. A Testament of Hope contains Martin Luther King, Jr.'s essential thoughts on nonviolence, social policy, integration, Black Nationalism, and more.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968), civil rights leader, advocate for worldwide social justice, and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, inspired and sustained the struggle for freedom, nonviolence, and interracial unity. His words and deeds continue to shape the lives and destinies of millions.

Editor James M. Washington (1948-1997) was a recognized authority on Martin Luther King, Jr. and a professor of American church history at Union Theological Seminary in New York City.

"Reveals the breadth and depth of King's] philosophical thinking, his tough-mindedness, and the sophistication and forensic skill that he could bring to an argument." - The New Yorker

Good First Impression
Color: Luminous watch black face
The watch looks good, keeps accurate time (so far), and is very reasonably priced. I took some links out of the bracelet for a better fit - if you have the right tools (bought mine on Amazon) and a steady hand this is not difficult - if you don't have the tools and haven't done it before, you may find it frustrating. The tool provided with the watch didn't work well for me. This watch is much lighter than my old one which is a real plus for me. Ask me again in a year and I'll give you a better idea of its performance.

Nice quality for a good price
Color: Luminous watch black face
Bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas. He loves it! Nice coloring, looks like the pictures. Fits nicely and comfortably once the size was adjusted. He did have some difficulty in sizing it - the little tool provided could’ve been of better quality to make this process easier but it did the job.

3/5 Stars – Looks far more expensive than it is
Color: Luminous watch black face, Color: Luminous watch black face
The OLEVS 5885 is about what you’d expect from a ~$30 watch, but in a good way. I bought it knowing it wasn’t going to compete with higher-end brands, and with that expectation in mind I’ve actually been pretty impressed. The biggest standout is the appearance. This watch looks far nicer than its price point would suggest. I get compliments on it fairly regularly from both friends and random people who assume it cost much more than it did. If you’re looking for something stylish on a budget, it definitely delivers in that department. Functionally, it does its job well enough. It keeps time reliably and hasn’t given me any real issues there. The glass/crystal is also surprisingly durable. I’ve worn this watch quite a bit, and while the rest of the case and bezel have picked up scratches over time, the face itself has held up extremely well. Another pleasant surprise is the bezel. It’s functional and unidirectional, with strong, clear, tactile clicks. It feels solid and hasn’t loosened up with use. That said, the cheaper elements do show up if you look closely. The bezel markings are pretty cheap and scratch easily. Also, the small lume marker at the 12:00 position on the bezel fell out during the second week of owning the watch. Overall though, I’m quite happy with it. For the price, it looks much more high-end than it really is, and I can comfortably use it as an everyday tool watch without worrying about babying it like a luxury piece.

Good cheap watch. Watch band could be better
Color: Luminous watch black face
The timepiece itself is use of decent quality and is perfectly acceptable for everyday use. I'm pretty rough on my watches and this watch fits the bill as I go about my daily routine. It keeps good time and has a good looking face. It seems many have trouble with the watch band sizing. The arrows on the inside of the watch band show the direction the pins should be pushed out. The pins stick out ever so slightly on one side or the other of the watch band giving the band a rough feel. I used a soft nail file and polished the pins smooth. The watch band feels much better afterwards. I would buy it again and recommend the watch to anyone looking for a cheap timepiece.
