King on Non-Violence...
I've seen too much hate to want to hate, myself, and I've seen hate on

the faces of too many sheriffs, too many White Citizens Councilors,

and too many Klansmen of the South to want to hate, myself, and every

time I see it, I say to myself, hate is too great a burden to bear.

Somehow we must be able to stand up before our most bitter opponents

and say, we shall match your capacity to inflict suffering by our

capacity to endure suffering. We will meet your physical force with

soul force. Do to us what you will. We cannot in all good conscience

obey your unjust laws and abide by the unjust system, because

non-cooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is

cooperation with good, so throw us in jail. Bomb our homes and

threaten our children, and, as difficult as it is, we will still love

you. Send your propaganda agents around the country and make it appear

that we are not fit, culturally and otherwise, for integration.
