Thus, in purely practical as well as moral terms, the American Negro has no rational alternative to nonviolence.

  Martin Luther King, Jr.

• The most violent revolutions in an individuals beliefs leave most of his old order standing. Time and space, cause and effect, nature and history, and ones own biography remain untouched.
