Martin Luther King Jr.

Letter From A Birmingham Jail

Letter From A Birmingham Jail

BY MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR
Martin Luther King's famous letter is a response to a statement made by 8 white Alabama clergymen in 1963. They argued that injustice should only be fought in a law court. King responded that without nonviolent direct action, true civil rights could never be achieved. He asserted that not only was civil disobedience justified in the face of unjust laws, but that "one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws." The letter includes the famous statement "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," as well as the words attributed to William Gladstone quoted by King: "Justice too long delayed is justice denied."

Talk Given At The Fgc Gathering June 1958 In Cape May, New Jersey

BY MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
Those who heard Martin Luther King Jr. speak on "Nonviolence and Racial Justice" at Cape May in 1958 gave him a standing ovation at the end of his remarks. His words, though given at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, call to us today: "Now I cannot say that violence never wins any victories; it occasionally wins victories. Nations often receive their independence through the use of violence. But I can say this, that that is all it does. Violence only achieves temporary victory; but it never can achieve ultimate peace. It creates many more social problems than it solves. And violence ends up defeating itself."

Strength To Love

Strength To Love

BY MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
"If there is one book Martin Luther King, Jr. has written that people consistently tell me has changed their lives, it is Strength to Love," writes Coretta Scott King. "I believe it is because this book best explains the central element of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s philosophy of nonviolence." In these short meditative and sermonic pieces, some of them composed in jails and all of them crafted during the tumultuous years of the Civil Rights struggle, Dr. King articulated and espoused in a deeply personal compelling way his commitment to justice and to the intellectual, moral, and spiritual conversion that makes his work as much a blueprint today for Christian discipleship as it was then.
