Quote: Martin Luther King, Jr. "Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spirit ending in destruction for all. The old law ar an eye for and eye leaves everybody blind. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding. It seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends by defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers." King image source: The Seattle TimesThe Seattle Times

Quote: Malcolm X Malcolm X image source: Malcolm X.com Malcolm X.comMalcolm X.com "I think there are plenty of good people in America, but there are also plenty of bad people in America and the bad ones are the ones who seem to have all the power and be in these positions to block things that you and I need. Because this is the situation, you and I have to preserve the right to do what is necessary to bring an end to that situation, and it doesn't mean that I advocate violence, but at the same time I am not against using violence in self-defense. I don't even call it violence when it's self-defense, I call it intelligence.”
