Excerpt fron King's " When Peace Becomes Obnoxious" speech delivered on 18 March 1956 at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church. Peace is not simply the absence of conflict, but the existence of justice for all people.
If peace means keeping my mouth shut in the midst of injustice and evil, I don't want it. If peace means being complacently adjusted to a deadening status quo, I don't want peace. If peace means a willingness to be exploited economically, dominated politically, humiliated and segregated, I don't want peace. Here are 6 radical quotes from Martin Luther King Jr. However, his image and legacy are often white-washed to fit the "non-violent" and agreeable Martin Luther King that many of us are familiar with today. Most around the world know him from his " I Have A Dream" speech that he delivered during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963, in which he called for civil and economic rights and an end to racism in the United States. It can only be achieved by understanding.Martin Luther King Jr was an American civil rights leader. He has the same dreams, the same hopes and fears. “ If you don't know the guy on the other side of the world, love him anyway because he's just like you.“Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time.” - Lyndon B.“Peace brings with it so many positive emotions that it is worth aiming for in all circumstances.” - Estella Eliot.“Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.” - John F.You will find peace not in denial, but in victory.” - J. “You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously.One must work at it.” - Eleanor Roosevelt
