Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love.
Martin Luther King, Jr.When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
