The Peaceful Strategies Of Martin Luther King Jr.
Martin Luther King Jr. was the charismatic and stoic head of the Civil Rights Movement during the 50s and 60s. His impassioned rhetoric aimed to abolish segregation in America. It was during a conversation with Robert Penn Warren, held six months following the March on Washington, that King would detail his ethos, “I think [violence and hatred] will end up creating many more social problems than they solve, and I’m thinking of a very strong love. I’m not, I’m thinking, I’m thinking of love in action and not something where you say, ‘Love your enemies,’ and just leave it at that, but you love your enemies to the point that you’re willing to sit-in at a lunch counter in order to help them find themselves. You’re willing to go to jail.”
