Martain Luther King
In this essay I will agree with the quote and state why I do. This essay will also highlight Martin Luther Kings peaceful policies and highlight moments like Mlks "Letter from Birmingham" as well as the "March on Washington" It will also contain MLKs views beliefs and background.
I agree with the quote of Martain Luther King "if you use the law, 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth', then you end up with everybody blind and toothless." as it states that if you combat violence with violence people get hurt and the idea that you were fighting for becomes tarnished. In his eyes violence never solved anything and I will show how all of his marches, speeches, letters and views were peaceful and non violent.
Mlk was first introduced into the world of black rights during the 1950s because of " The Montgomery bus boycott" as he was called in to support and gather his followers to help in this boycott. The boycott went on for 381 days but remained peaceful and passive. Thus showing that from the start Mlk had non violent views against the fight against segregation although Mlk didn't have all the same views of Rosa Parks. Even though Mlk had nothing to do with the sit ins they were non violent forms of protest against segregation so they must be at least mentioned in this essay. The sit ins were preformed by young politically motivated college and university students. It took a lot of discipline to preform a sit in as many of the students were mocked and
