BY MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. This is a downloadable mp3 version of MLK's talk. After your purchase is finalized, you will be sent a link to download the audio file. 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 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."
