From the archive, 24 May 1961: Martin Luther King unmoved by death threats

In an article published in the "Look" magazine of this issue, Dr. Martin Luther King outlined his principles of nonviolence philosophy and the plans for this spring and summer. Dr. Jin wrote:

"The federal government's policy is to do a riot in Russian roulette, ready to gamble again in preparation for a summer disaster, despite two consecutive violent summers, the basic riot is Expansion of housing and discrimination education in black slums, parliament and government are still taking minor and halfway measures, but only a few years ago, the revolt has not decreased There is a possibility that it will be recognized.

Every year, vibrant black confidence is born. In the past two years, it is true that the strategy of the undemocratic movement dominated the thought of the civil rights movement and did not play its role in change. Non-violence is a creative doctrine in the south. Because it is investigating enthusiastic apartheid who wants to crush black people. Through direct acts of non-violence, blacks were able to take protest action actively on the street, but even though he could not beat men, women, children who were not armed with during the day I repressed the oppressor's gun. This is why the number of deaths in the south protest action over the decade is less than the number of deaths in the northern riots of 10 days.

King then wrote about the extensive march he was planning to hold in Washington at the end of this month. He said that the period is similar to that of Birmingham and Selma - it may last two or three months

Dr. King later wrote: "We are putting the problem of the poor at the seat of the government of the richest nation in the history of mankind.

"The country is not yet aware of the seriousness.The Congress is not going to take any action against this.This is what we have to face this spring.I made it for nonviolence As I do not get a positive response in Washington, as more blacks act acting violently, these nonviolent demonstrations make it economical A rights bill will emerge and become a vulnerable group and will need about 10 to 12 people.

Martin Luther King like Kennedy was slaughtered like an animal like Lincoln. The death of Martin Luther King is already happening. This is a very good, unbearable, unpredictable death that good people happen. The death of a good man is the fulfillment of prophecy - to avoid his devotion to the realization of his life. Now that the best workers have died, how is this work done? Re-dedication is necessary. Okay, my mind has a problem: must we put this flower on the coffin of this barbarous and disappearing person? We are struggling at university to find out if we should know if we should confront the civilized cause we know.

We remember the name of Martin Luther King, but how many people remember the name of a medical worker crushed here - did their death lead to his attack on Memphis What? We know the name of Martin Luther King, but how many of us remember the name of the little girl bombed with Bomlingham bomb? We know that the pastor is dismissed saying that the church should not be isolated. However, many churches still exist. First of all, here we pay attention to Jesus, talk to religious leaders, and the problem is that you are here and you decorate the grave of the prophet. He said, "You came to know Jeremiah, you recognized Isaiah, you recognized Samuel, and you recognized Ezekiel, and you recognized Elijah." But you respect them so easily, because they can not talk to you anymore. You will respect them because they will not destroy the power you have or the social order you have.
