00:00:00.068 --> 00:00:04.642
This is a conversation about
violence versus nonviolence
2
00:00:04.667 --> 00:00:10.015
in the work of liberation is an
ongoing argument and will be.
3
00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:14.841
But we do see where there's
violence has been used to
4
00:00:14.866 --> 00:00:18.045
fight for liberation,
there are consequences
5
00:00:18.070 --> 00:00:21.780
for your future society.
You saw violence.
6
00:00:21.805 --> 00:00:25.713
King was committed
partially as was Gandhi
7
00:00:25.738 --> 00:00:28.754
to only the use of nonviolence.
8
00:00:28.779 --> 00:00:31.418
For King he faced a violent death.
9
00:00:31.443 --> 00:00:33.028
He knew that was a reality
10
00:00:33.053 --> 00:00:38.781
but he felt that nonviolence in
the face of very violent systems
11
00:00:38.806 --> 00:00:40.983
developed a contrast.
12
00:00:41.008 --> 00:00:45.826
So when he was fighting the racism
in the southern United States
13
00:00:45.851 --> 00:00:49.936
non-violent responses
to violent attacks
14
00:00:49.961 --> 00:00:51.451
showed this comparison
15
00:00:51.476 --> 00:00:53.756
because you could see
what truly was injustice
16
00:00:53.781 --> 00:00:56.351
and what in fact
it actually exaggerated.
17
00:00:56.376 --> 00:00:58.600
It seemed to pull out
18
00:00:58.625 --> 00:01:04.211
of the oppressive segregationists
in the south even more violence
19
00:01:04.236 --> 00:01:07.006
when someone didn't come
back in the same method
20
00:01:07.031 --> 00:01:08.435
but was nonviolent.
21
00:01:08.460 --> 00:01:11.115
And it represented,
it certainly for King,
22
00:01:11.140 --> 00:01:13.357
his understanding of Jesus Christ.
23
00:01:13.382 --> 00:01:16.834
And it was the ultimate model
for how his religious faith
24
00:01:16.859 --> 00:01:17.957
needed to work around there.
25
00:01:17.982 --> 00:01:20.983
So there's tremendous
power in nonviolence
26
00:01:21.008 --> 00:01:23.881
but it takes a certain
kind of commitment
27
00:01:23.906 --> 00:01:28.297
and discipline to really exercise.
