What does Martin Luther King, Jr. believe about the use of violence? @paki @jagr2713 @Ilovepuppieslol @pooja195 @thesmartone @rebeccaxhawaii @photon336 @qwertty123 @samanthagreer
“This afternoon, following a series of threats and defiant statements, the presence of Alabama National Guards- men was required on the University of Alabama to carry out the final and unequivocal order of the United States District Court . . . That order called for the admission of two clearly quali- fied young Alabama residents who happened to have been born Negro. . . . This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was found on the principle that that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened. . . . One hundred years of delay have passed since President Lincoln freed the slaves, yet their heirs, their grandsons, are not fully free. And this nation, for all its hopes and all its boasts, will not be fully free until all its citizens are free.” —Martin Luther King, Jr. Speech, March 1956, Louisville, Kentucky
OMLK, like Gandhi, believed in non-violent protests.
he was strongly opposed to the use of violence. he adopted a method similar to Gandhi. he was also against the Vietnam war, and wanted to fight poverty.
