 DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. QUOTES

“If peace means a willingness to be exploited economically, dominated politically, humiliated and segregated, I don’t want peace.

If peace means being complacently adjusted to a deadening status quo, I don’t want peace. If peace means keeping my mouth shut in the midst of injustice and evil, I don’t want it. Peace is not simply the absence of conflict, but the existence of justice for all people.”

--When Peace Becomes Obnoxious, 1956
