Blog Post 7


1)In front of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. said” We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence”. On Philosophic grounds Dr. King was saying that the way blacks react to the white community will determine their on future. Blacks did not react during these times and it worked out in their favor by ending segregation. Justice was served as an classic Ideograph during the time of Dr. Martin Luther King. Dr. King spoke at these protests and got a group of people to commit their selves to a particular but equivocal and ill-defined normative goal.

2)The assassination of Dr. King was an direct violence act. Dr. King was starting to make a difference around the southern states with his powerful speeches and protest he lead . In this case you can say its terrorism in a way, during this time the K.K.K. was bombing houses and threatening blacks throughout the south trying to scare them. Whites wanted to bring fear, they wanted to resist change in the south.

3)No, violence is never the answer
