Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, we must see the need of having nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men to rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - Letter From Birmingham Jail
@de Silentio,
I'm an irreverant Jeffersonian. When discussing "'great Americans" my praise for the Founding Fathers is endless. My country has produced many great minds and men, but none can compare to the late Dr. King.
de Silento, thank you for this quote.
@de Silentio,
Thank you, Dr. Martin Luther King, for the emphatic reminder (imperative) that, 'All of us are Created, by God, as Equals'.
