Speaking of leaders in the civil rights movement, this quote is something everyone should take a second to absorb..
Quote:
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.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

It's no less true today than it was when he was literally giving his life for it. Truly one of the greatest Americans ever.
