NATION WORLD BUSINESS ARTS ... CURRENT ISSUE AP King announces on April 25, 1967, that he would not be a candidate for the president of the United States Martin Luther King He led a mass struggle for racial equality that doomed segregation and changed America forever By JACK E. WHITE Intro: Our Century ... and the Next One 21st Century: The Shape of the Future Monday, April 13, 1998 It is a testament to the greatness of Martin Luther King Jr. that nearly every major city in the U.S. has a street or school named after him. It is a measure of how sorely his achievements are misunderstood that most of them are located in black neighborhoods. Three decades after King was gunned down on a motel balcony in Memphis, Tenn., he is still regarded mainly as the black leader of a movement for black equality. That assessment, while accurate, is far too restrictive. For all King did to free blacks from the yoke of segregation, whites may owe him the greatest debt, for liberating them from the burden of America's centuries-old hypocrisy about race. It is only because of King and the movement that he led that the U.S. can claim to be the leader of the "free world" without inviting smirks of disdain and disbelief. Had he and the blacks and whites who marched beside him failed, vast regions of the U.S. would have remained morally indistinguishable from South Africa under apartheid, with terrible consequences for America's standing among nations. How could America have convincingly inveighed against the Iron Curtain while an equally oppressive Cotton Curtain remained draped across the South?

35. Martin Luther King, Jr., And The African-American Social Gospel Clayborne Carson on the religious roots of king's social reformism. http://www.stanford.edu/group/King/additional_resources/articles/gospel.htm

Articles by the Staff of the King Papers Project Martin Luther King, Jr., and the African-American Social Gospel Most recent studies of Martin Luther King, Jr., emphasize the extent to which his ideas were rooted in African-American religious traditions. Departing from King's own autobiographical account and from earlier studies that stressed the importance of King's graduate studies at Crozer Theological Seminary and Boston University, contemporary scholars have focused attention on King's African-American religious roots. The Martin Luther King, Jr., Papers Project has contributed to this scholarly trend by documenting the King family's long-standing ties to Ebenezer Baptist Church and the social gospel ministries of his father and grandfather, both of whom were civil rights leaders as well as pastors. this uncritical attitude could not last long, for it was contrary to the very nature of my being. I had always been the questioning and precocious type. At the age of 13 I shocked my Sunday School class by denying the bodily resurrection of Jesus. From the age of thirteen on doubts began to spring forth unrelentingly. Quite often we say the church has no place in politics, forgetting the words of the Lord, 'The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath [anointed] me to preach the Gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and the recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised."

His philosophy of nonviolent resistance led to his arrest on numerous occasions in the 1950s and 60s. His campaigns had mixed success, but the protest he led in Birmingham, Ala., in 1963 brought him worldwide attention. He spearheaded the Aug., 1963, March on Washington, which brought together more than 200,000 people. In 1964 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. King's leadership in the civil-rights movement was challenged in the mid-1960s as others grew more militant. His interests, however, widened from civil rights to include criticism of the Vietnam War and a deeper concern over poverty. His plans for a Poor People's March to Washington were interrupted (1968) for a trip to Memphis, Tenn., in support of striking sanitation workers. On Apr. 4, 1968, he was shot and killed as he stood on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel (since 1991 a civil-rights museum).

37. Live Free Or Die Critique Equates the principles of martin luther king jr.'s nonviolent protests to prolife human rights protests. http://www.geocities.com/livefreecritique/acceptprotest.html

An Acceptable Protest by Cat J.A. Clark Protest for African American Civil Rights The injustice was racism, expressed in various forms of discrimination, segregation, and even terrorism. Conscientious people could not sit idly bythey believed they must respond, they must protest to end the injustice. Inspired by the teachings of Jesus, Thoreau, and Gandhi, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and his followers adopted nonviolent methods of active public protest including writing and speechmaking, rallies, marches, sit-ins, picketing, boycotts, and occasional acts of civil disobedience. When faced with violent opposition, they refused to return violence for violence no matter the cost. Socrates taught that it was nobler to suffer evil than commit it; these protestors preferred to suffer evil rather than even risk committing it by self-defense. Not every opponent of racism agreed that Dr. King's nonviolent course of protest was a good one. Malcolm X, before his 1964 conversion to Sunni Islam, declared that nonviolence was the "philosophy of the fool." Some opponents of racism, like the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, argued that blows of self-defense were a reasonable response to racist violence. A few militants, whether individually or in small groups, even considered violence an appropriate protest to racism itself. Of these three, Dr. King's protestactive, public, and committed to nonviolenceis a supremely acceptable protest against injustice. By public protest, Dr. King and his followers refused to tolerate the injustice of racist discrimination, segregation, and terrorism. By dedicated nonviolence, Dr. King refused to risk committing injustice. Fortunately, the majority of activists for African American civil rights employed nonviolent means to protest racism.

Martin Luther King's Letter from Birmingham Jail [ N. B. All typographical errors are from the original source and therefore have not been corrected. A PDF version can be found here AUTHOR'S NOTE: This response to a published statement by eight fellow clergymen from Alabama (Bishop C. C. J. Carpenter, Bishop Joseph A. Durick, Rabbi Hilton L. Grafman, Bishop Paul Hardin, Bishop Holan B. Harmon, the Reverend George M. Murray. the Reverend Edward V. Ramage and the Reverend Earl Stallings) was composed under somewhat constricting circumstance. Begun on the margins of the newspaper in which the statement appeared while I was in jail, the letter was continued on scraps of writing paper supplied by a friendly Negro trusty, and concluded on a pad my attorneys were eventually permitted to leave me. Although the text remains in substance unaltered, I have indulged in the author's prerogative of polishing it for publication. April 16, 1963 MY DEAR FELLOW CLERGYMEN: While confined here in the Birmingham city jail, I came across your recent statement calling my present activities "unwise and untimely." Seldom do I pause to answer criticism of my work and ideas. If I sought to answer all the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would have little time for anything other than such correspondence in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work. But since I feel that you are men of genuine good will and that your criticisms are sincerely set forth, I want to try to answer your statements in what I hope will be patient and reasonable terms.
