Dr. King Did Not Believe in Peace at Any Cost...'When Peace Becomes Obnoxious'
“...If peace means being complacently adjusted to a deadening status quo, I don’t want peace.” ~ Dr. King
Excerpt from Dr. King's 'When Peace Becomes Obnoxious' Sermon, March 18, 1956
“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.”
