Our generation will not have regretted both perverse crimes, and the eerie silence of the kind

Your truth will increase as you know listen to the truth of others

If I knew that the world ends tomorrow, I, even today, plant a tree
dream justice keep-dreaming
I have a dream, one dream, keep dreaming. Dream of freedom, justice dreaming, dreaming of equality and hopefully no longer required to dream them
men law unjust
Just as it is the duty of all men to obey just laws, so it is the duty of all men to disobey unjust laws.
dream differences great-day
Today, is a great day to make a difference for someone. 'I have a dream'.
men righteous-man order
In order to be true to one's conscience and true to God, a righteous man has no alternative but to refuse to cooperate with an evil system.
justice defense bombs
Communism will never be defeated by atomic bombs. Our greatest defense against Communism is to take offensive action on behalf of justice and righteousness. We must seek to remove conditions of poverty, injustice, and racial discrimination.

Whom you would change, you must first love.
america mankind audacious
I have an ultimate faith in America and an audacious faith in mankind.
white evil looks
The Negro who experiences bitter and agonizing circumstances as a result of some ungodly white person is tempted to look upon all white persons as evil, if he fails to look beyond his circumstances. But the minute he looks beyond his circumstances and sees the whole of the situation, he discovers that some of the most implacable and vehement advocates of racial equality are consecrated white persons.
believe heart winning
I would be misleading you if I made you feel that we could win a violent campaign. It's impractical even to think about it. The minute we start, we will end up getting many more people killed unnecessarily. Now, I'm ready to die myself. Many other committed people are ready to die. If you believe in something firmly, if you believe in it truly, if you believe it in your heart, you are willing to die for it, but I'm not going to advocate a method that brings about unnecessary death.
differences events would-be
In the event of a violent revolution, we would be sorely outnumbered. And when it was all over, the Negro would face the same unchanged conditions, the same squalor and deprivation-the only difference being that his bitterness would be even more intense, his disenchantment even more abject. Thus, in purely practical as well as moral terms, the American Negro has no rational alternative to nonviolence.
direct-action issues creative
Non-violent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and establish such creative tension that a community that has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored... I am not afraid of the word tension. I have earnestly worked and preached against violent tension, and there is a type of constructive tension that is necessary for growth.
