Dr. King’s 4 Basic Steps of Nonviolent Campaigns by AJ

Dr. King uses four basic steps of a nonviolent campaign to organize his essay, Letter From A Birmingham Jail, through a collection of the facts to determine whether injustices exist: 1) negotiation, 2) self-purification, 3) direct action and 4) persuasion. 

In Dr. King’s letter, he shows negotiation throughout the whole speech and he also shows persuasion. An example of this is when he says, ¨For years now, I have heard the word ‘Wait!’ King wrote. “This ‘Wait’ has almost always meant ‘Never.’” He articulated the resentment felt “when you are forever fighting a degenerating sense of ‘nobodiness’—then you will understand why we find it difficult to wait.”

Another step is self-purification and an example he provides for this step is, ¨We must never forget that all three were crucified for the same crime--the crime of extremism. Two were extremists for immorality, and thus fell below their environment. The other, Jesus Christ, was an extremist for love, truth and goodness, and thereby rose above his environment.” These actions were purifying.

Furthermore, another step is direct action and he shows this in many ways. Even giving the speech is a form of direct action but my quote to prove that King gives direct action is, ¨Knowing that a strong economic-withdrawal program would be the byproduct of direct action, we felt that this would be the best time to bring pressure to bear on the merchants for the needed change.¨ This proves that King took direct action.

The last step that King showed is through persuading people that injustice exists. My evidence that King did this is: ¨There have been more unsolved bombings of Negro homes and churches in Birmingham than in any other city in the nation. These are the hard, brutal facts of the case. On the basis of these conditions, Negro leaders sought to negotiate with the city fathers. But the latter consistently refused to engage in good faith negotiation.¨ Here he lays out the facts of the injustices.

In conclusion, this proves that Dr. King utilized four steps of nonviolent campaigns to organize his essay. He still got his message out and across respectfully at the end of the day and he didn’t have to physically or verbally hurt anybody. All he did was deliver his speech using his strong powerful voice.

Today We Honor Martin & Coretta

Marriage & Movement: It’s what made this couple’s union so special.

Coretta once said, “After we married, we moved to Montgomery, Alabama, where my husband had accepted an invitation to be the pastor of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church. Before long, we found ourselves in the middle of the Montgomery bus boycott, and Martin was elected leader of the protest movement. As the boycott continued, I had a growing sense that I was involved in something so much greater than myself, something of profound historic importance.

I came to the realization that we had been thrust into the forefront of a movement to liberate oppressed people, not only in Montgomery but also throughout our country, and this movement had worldwide implications. I felt blessed to have been called to be a part of such a noble and historic cause.”

#OnThisDay April 4, 1968, our brilliant revolutionary #DrMartinLutherKing was assassinated. Despite efforts to erase history and sanitize his legacy, we must teach our children the truth about this country and Dr. King's fight for justice and freedom.

Illustration and caption by #artist @ariadelsole “Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism, and militarism.” Dr. Martin Luther King, A Time to Break the Silence, April 4, 1967.

Dr. King was assassinated on this day 55 years ago. He dedicated his life to freedom from oppression all while being viewed as a threat to the status quo. Today, we have countless school boards and states attempting to ban the teaching of actual history including that of Dr. King. They will probably continue to cherry-pick quotes and whitewash Dr. King’s life in January, but they will refuse to allow students to learn his radical views and the fact that he fought against police brutality, referred to this country as still r@cist, and called out systemic r@cism.

As we take the time to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today, let’s remember him for the radical humanitarian he was. Let’s keep teaching truth. Let’s keep fighting for liberation. Keep fighting against poverty, bigotry, militarism.

In memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.⁠ ⁠ In these photos — from 'Builder Levy: Humanity in the Streets, New York City 1960s–1980s,' published by @damiani_books — Dr. King is pictured at the Freedomways reception after the Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois Centennial Tribute at Carnegie Hall in Manhattan, where he gave the keynote speech on February 23, 1968. Other photos capture civil rights marches, protests, school children playing, families at Coney Island, members of the Black Panther party (including Malcolm X), empty lots, anti-war rallies, kids jumping rope, card games, carrier pigeons and more. "There is a sense of collaboration with the people who are not invisible to the photographer," Deborah Willis writes. "It is a remarkable visual story about beauty and humanity that must not be overlooked." ⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ @builder.levy #martinlutherking #drmartinlutherking #drmartinlutherkingjr #martinlutherkingday #civilrights #builderlevy #humanityinthestreets⁠ ⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/CnaS7sFpzRn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
