"Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. I am not unmindful of the fact that violence often brings about momentary results. Nations have frequently won their independence in battle. But in spite of temporary victories, violence never brings permanent peace. It solves no social problem: it merely creates new and more complicated ones. Violence is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding: it seeks to annihilate rather than convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. It destroys community and makes brotherhood impossible. It leaves society in monologue rather than dialogue. Violence ends up defeating itself. It creates bitterness in the survivors and brutality in the destroyers."

Photo by nosha

Martin Luther King, Jr. is best known as the most important leader of the Civil Rights Movement in which African Americans did whatever they could to fight for justice. They did this even when it seemed like they would never win. This sort of determination is what King is talking about in this quote. He is saying that no matter what your limitations are, you have to do as much as you can to improve. You have to forget about what you can't do and instead just focus on doing as much as possible. If you do this, you can end up accomplishing things even when they seem impossible.

They thought that martin Luther king jr was a very loyal man and thought that he was always thinking about others before himself. For example, Martin Luther king jr died while trying to help the country and trying to solve the problem between the arguments of racism.
People who like Martin Luther King Jr believed him to be a strong, noble person. People who did not like his beliefs saw him as crude and stupid. But all these thoughts trace back to the Civil War. Ever since the Union won, slaves were set free from slavery, but racism still was a major issue. Segregation was a way of black-hating whites would show their beliefs. Whereas people like Martin Luther King jr tried to put a stop to it. So, wen he made his impact, one man made his by assassinating Martin Luther King jr with a gun.

how did he have an impact on the world?

Photo by Darwin Bell

Martin Luther King had a vision of a society in which race was not an issue in how people were treated or in how they were allowed to live their lives. It’s a sad fact of today’s society that King’s vision is not a reality in America, or anywhere else in the world; but it is possible to say that his vision affected us.

While nothing is perfect or complete in the battle for civil rights, the efforts of King and those like him have, in fact, changed the country and the world, for the better, in noticeable ways. His vision has made the world a more equal place, if not an equal one, and it has helped to ensure that minorities have a voice.
